See advertisements on BrickLink. Methinks BrickLink could use a little bit of TLC right now. With the TLG acquisition, many thought that that would bring additional investment to the site, but two years later not much has changed. Personally, I would rather see an increase in seller fees. Sites with too many advertisements are just as unusable as BrickLink, and sellers can always raise prices to cover the additional cost. That being said, BrickLink is still a thriving marketplace. Over a million registered users, many of whom just signed up in the past couple of years. I think they should have a profit sharing system that shares with sellers, or possibly a fee refund system based on profit. Interesting ideas.    But that doesn't answer your question Since I am a buyer, and likely will never want to deal with all the hassles of being a seller, of course I would rather see an increase in seller fees over advertisements, unless the advertisements were only for the Lego Group, and non invasive. I recognize that increasing seller fees will likely lead to an increase in seller prices as well, so it will not have zero impact on buyers. Good point
