MTS Fee Change

"Items that were listed under "For Sale" and "Wanted" will be sold with old transaction fee even after 7/28."
are would make more sense. But I guess that they have bad english.

"Items under "Auction" and those you "Buy Now" will be sold with new transaction fee even if the items were on MTS before 7/28."
I think that's bad english too, but not 100% sure.

The way they split the two out implies that this is also how they'll behave going forward. Logically it would've had to have been phrased more like:

"Items that were listed under "For Sale" and "Wanted" will be sold with the old transaction fee even after 7/28 but anything new placed under "For Sale" and "Wnated" will be sold with the new transaction fee."

It's quite a cumbersome statement, but it's really the only way you can arrive at that particular conclusion from what they've provided.

Of course we already know logic isn't their strong point, so I could be just as wrong as anyone else, but I feel there is more supporting evidence for my interpretation than against it, since it only uses what is explicitly stated, not any inferences. I think everything hangs on that "were" instead of "are" because the author was looking backwards from the future.
