Those of you who are avid treasure hunters are probably all well familiar with maps which are completely undecipherable. Even older maps, which were intended to be accurate portrayals of topography, can be almost humorously inaccurate.

The map was drawn by Piri Reis in 1513. It shows detailed and pointedly accurate outlines of Eastern North and South America, and Western Africa, an absolutely amazing accomplishment in that era, but that is not the real show stopper about this map. It also shows a completely accurate detailed outline of the Northern Antarctic Coast as it exists without the ice cap. This is not just amazing, it is impossible by any technique we know of to have existed in the known technology of civilization until our present abilities.

He says eBay is "Resetting the Balance of the eBay Marketplace". This outraged eBay Store users, who are making a business from the online auction-moving inventory with the "Buy Now" feature, since their margins are slipping away as their auctions costs are climbing.So while the increases may appear small many store owners are complaining it's going to drive some of them out of business, because on top of eBay fees you have store fees, picture storage fees, listing fees, promotional fees, and when it sells, they get hit with this new selling fee, and then finally Pay Pal fees. With all the fees many sellers operating on a tighter margin are seeing themselves being squeezed out of the stores.According to eBay, stores represent 83% of listing, while they only represent 9% of revenues.
