I participate on other eBay-related forums, and start to tire of hearing about how they're "raping" us in increased fees. All in all, I think it's the best option out there. Sure, we'd all like to pay NO fees, but how realistic is that? As for the $1 comic topic, I don't sell anything less than $5, because you're right, the flat-rate fees (listing fees & 35¢ PayPal fee) kill you until you get to about $5. If you sell $1 comics, group them in lots of 5.
I have a fee spreadsheet I created, and for lower dollar items, an eBay store works best. Because the flat listing fee is only 6¢ with gallery, so the 10% final value fee doesn't hurt you with lower priced items. In a store, you get to keep $1.24 of a $2 sale after eBay and PayPal fees. That's 62%. You keep 70% of a $3 sale. In a typical eBay auction, you'd only keep 32% of a $2 sale, and 52% of a $3 sale.
Don't get me started on fee analysis.
Back to the topic, I heard today on eBay Radio that this summer, they're going to roll out a new feature to sort by total price, with shipping. This will weed out those charging alot for shipping. Or I should say, this will allow those who keep shipping costs down to differentiate themselves.

Here is an episode on Comicon 2005 with an interview with Vincent Zurzolo. The interview starts 35 minutes into the podcast. What a geek!
(Not that there's anything wrong with that. )
I'm glad I mentioned it since you're still enjoying the show! It's a good podcast.
Listening to anything else besides geekson?
I listen to "Around Comics"....has good parts, but is generally too long...
The John Byrne two-parter is must hear though
Also enjoy selected eps of "The Golden Age of Comic books"...very informative, very professional but Bill Jourdain makes for a better researcher/writer than presenter.
Pipeline ComicBook Podcast with Augie Deblieck isn't bad either, but I only listen to the ones that deal on TPBs as I don't buy weekly comics.
Listened to comicgeekspeak last week, the episode on owning and buying original comic art, tickled my fancy, but alas it was mostly about modern books.
Still looking for podcasts that deal with Silver and Bronze age...most of the ones out there are focussed on today or the last 20 years of comics..which isn't that interesting to me
