power sellers fee

thegrump179 — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 04:33:37 GMT

I would like to object about the fee for power sellers. Although I was made a power seller, I still only sell low cost items. I might put 20 items on at $2 each at a cost to me of $10. If I only sell half of the items I recieve $10 from the buyers which breaks me even and then the PP charge and I am out of pocket. So I thim=nk the power seller charge of 50c should only be implimented for items over $10. Regards Ross

until May 1st try listing only higher value items that will return a profit

you list a lot of $2 and under lots that dont sell, so maybe rethink how you could combine them into larger lots

I accidentally archived the email and can't find it, but apparently TRS will kick in at $1000 worth of sales later this year.

If you have say 10 books all of a same series as an example, try selling at $2 each in a bulk lot and send them in a satchel. saves wasting time doing $2 listings

$1000 is a joke for TRS even the $3000 is a joke - this is hobby selling only

I received an email about the new changes in getting a "good boy" seller mark against your listings. No way will I get that - I am certainly not prepared to offer free postage or a 30 day return to start with. With my prices it would just not be worth it . May 1st will make it much easier to sell at a price and work out profit on an item so you are left with a reasonable return.
