belliesbells — Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:02:14 GMT

AFTER 40 FREE ITEMS LISTED IN ANY GIVEN MONTH.. EBAY HAS TRIPLED IT'S LISTING FEES TO $1.50 PER ITEM.. THEN ON TOP OF THAT THEY FLOG US SELLERS ANOTHER 10% FOR THE VALUE OF THE SOLD PRICE.. THIS DOE'S NOT INCLUDE THE SELLERS FEE'S WITH PAY PAL WHEN A BUYER USED THIS PAYMENT METHOD..

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE " SELL YOUR ITEM FOR 99 CENT " AND NO FEE'S ????

WHAT DOE'S EVERYONE THINK..." IT'S A JOKE "

I think that the listing advertising yourself & the volume of positives with negative comments you've left,says ebay is not the place for you to be listing.

instead of 0 free listings a month you now get 40 free listings a month and are complaining??

eBay fees changed 6 weeks ago, and the announcements about the changes were weeks before that, surely you didnt just realize this today?

if you cannot build a $1.50 fee into your starting price to cover the cost you should perhaps look at other ways of selling.

What's the point of including this is your listings bellie ?

JUST A NOTE FOR ALL SELLERS.. EBAY NOW CHARGE $1.50 FOR LISTING AN ITEM AFTER YOUR FIRST 40 FREE LISTINGS.. AND THEN TAKE ANOTHER 10% OF THE FINAL VALUE SELLING PRICE.. IT'S A JOKE..

On 22-Jun-13 at 10:26:18 AEST, seller added the following information:

I PAY EBAY FOR ALL MY HARD WORK..

Ask an auctioneer how much he charges and you'll see it's cheaper to sell on ebay.

putney32 Well that's not entirely true. Its changed but its the same you just have to pay twice as much as you use to. SOD (signature on delivery) $2.75 or $2.95 cant remember then its about $1.25 or $1.75 for insurance per $100 of cover so if you want to cover for $200 you pay double and so on. You must have SOD to get insurance that's the catch.

Where as you use to get the same for $2.95 SOD and $100 ins.

You get the same cover as before it just cost more and they split in to 2 products where it use to be 1 product. Its called maximising profits.

So don't list more than 40 listings, if you want to list more in a month use multiple ids or better still sign up for a store for twenty bucks a month with 80 listings included.

For many of us the so called fee increase is actually a reduction.
