Ok, with the online auction business in a very grey area, I would like to list here some helpful resources for those of you who need them.  Since the eBay announcement of fee hikes set to occur on Aug. 22, 2006 (done), I have spent hours and hours doing research, and I have learned a lot.  There are many alternatives out there.
