Half.com is closing August 31.

Half.com, which eBay created as a competitor to Amazon for media sales, announced it is ending sales on 8/31/17. Not too surprising, sales have been lousy there in the last year and they recently jacked up their seller commissions to ridiculous levels:

Dear Seller:

This letter is to inform you that Half.com will be closing on August 31, 2017, and you will not be able to sell on the platform following that date. Returns will continue to be processed until October 31, 2017.

We would like to thank you for your support of Halfdotcom – some of you have been with us since we launched in 1999. We have enjoyed being part of your selling journey and wish you ongoing success.
