£10 annual fee for listing in for sale/wanted. When did that appear?

Just noticed this message in the for sale/wanted bit. Annual fee £10 to advertise in for sale/wanted.
When did that appear? Any reason why the cost is so high (used to be £5 to sign up to be able to contact another MNer plus you could then use for sale)?
Does it mean you have to pay that plus £5 if you want to use contact another MNer?

Hi Tortoise

The £10 fee is a recent change. It is an increase from the £5 we used to charge (and have never increased before) but, as a one-off annual fee, we hope it isn't too much to bear.

If you've already paid £5 for a CAT, we will honour that until your subscription runs out and needs to be renewed.

A good while back, because people (generally people who didn't post on MN in general but just came to sell things) were starting to use MN as a free alternative to eBay and it was pissing other posters off . It does seem high, but TBH I think it's supposed to discourage anyone other than the really keen from selling at all -- you can give stuff away for free in other sections of MN, but if you want money for your stuff then there are other sites that specialise in selling.
