The reason alot of us powersellers start auctions out at .99 is the listing fee is lower (you still get socked the final value fee). But it also attracts more buyers to your auctions. People don't want to see a high starting price, it takes the fun out of "auction" and it puts "high price" in their heads. Also, only use the listing designer if you have to use the second heading line. I almost always use the gallery. It has PROVED to bring more bidders as well. It catches the buyers interest before they even look at your auction.
Between eBay and Paypal fees however, there are times you lose out. That's why many prefer to receive money orders. (we accept paypal, money orders, bank transfers.....higher ticket items.....or cash on pickup).
