While I certainly value a good venue, a $25 startup fee would almost
certainly mean I'd never start a Brickbay store. I'm not sure how much
volume I'll do, though I do need to start a store and start moving some
of my stuff, but a startup fee would be a significant deterrence.

I'm not sure how much of a user fee you were thinking of, but I think
that would be a deterrent to buyers also. I'm not sure what I'd do if I
was suddenly hit with a buyers fee.
On the other hand, I feel like I've gotten good deals on Brickbay, so if
the commission went up a percent or two, and the buyers passed that on
as a price increase, I'm sure I'd still find plenty of stuff to buy.
