This blog post was absurdly difficult to find on the site: https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/commerce/blog/2009/11/18/roadmap--managing-freebies-on-xstreet-sl... it says they will provide at least 2 weeks notice before putting the changes into effect, and I haven't seen that notice (but then, it's not clear how they intend to provide that notice, and I've deleted everything I had on XstreetSL, so they may never have cause to notify me).

To the second question: yes, it will be automatic. That's why there's been such a mad scramble to delete or at least deactivate items.

As Qie says we will get an email giving two weeks notice. There has been a delay because they are ensuring that deactivated items are not charged.

As for automatic charges, nobody has confirmed how this will work.

I heard the delay was supposed to be to allow for the ability to add all the colors of one item into one listing.

I get the feeling that's just a bone to keep us from really ripping into LL and isn't going to happen. After all, the idea for the fees is to make LL more money, since Supply Linden is supposed to only be able to sell as many L$ as is spent on the L$ sinks.

Play your cards close to your chest. Wait for the 'official' email from LL / X-Street and then start your personal countdown to pull-out day. Probably not a good idea to leave it to the last minute as the X-Street servers are likely to be a tad overworked what with the likely large volume of traders de-listing items on the last day.

The servers are likely to be smoking the moment that the fee implementation is emailed. There are still quite a few items left on XStreet. I've got roughly 300 and holding, since I'm not listing any of my new stuff there.
