			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve decided to let the renewal of my domain name &#8220;calcylator.com&#8221; slip. The site was my web 2.0 idea that never got off the ground, the idea was simple, if you use  ebay (<em>as a seller</em>) you need to calculate your costs, although ebay don&#8217;t hide fees from you the listing process doesn&#8217;t make it very obvious and if you sell a lot keeping track of your profit &#038; loss is difficult&#8230; so I developed a site to track these and other costs (<em>packaging etc</em>).</p>
<p>I got the &#8220;beta&#8221; site up, and pestered some non-technical friends and family to try it out; I came across a fundamental problem: ebays fees <strong>are</strong> complicated, so there&#8217;s only a certain amount of simplifying you can do, general feedback was it was too much hassle&#8230; and they didn&#8217;t feel the benefit, i.e. they&#8217;d much rather just pay the fees&#8230;. isn&#8217;t funny how large companies can make a fortune by charging lots of people the odd pence here and there, and people would rather pay it than &#8220;waste&#8221; time finding a way not to pay it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m quiet sad that this didn&#8217;t work, but I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s another simpler avenue I can explore in the future, good luck to any one who decides to my old domain&#8230; well unless your one of those retailers that just buys expired domain names and then charges loads for someone genuine to use them&#8230; what I think of you couldn&#8217;t be pulished <img src='http://www.linickx.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
