Basic store subscription doubling in September

[sbmg2005]

Hi,

We have just read the changes that are coming in September 2012 regarding Basic Store Subscriptions (rising from $24.95 to $49.95)

Our sales on ebay have reduced so much over the last year or so that doubling our store subscription really isn't an option  (most of our sales come though our website).  My question is, if we close our store and take advantage of the 30 free listings per month, will we have to relist the stock we have in there now?  Or will it appear in our Unsold folder and we can just relist it from there?  Also, is there anything we'll miss out on by not having a store other than Good Till Cancelled listings?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to dictate ebay policy buy ebay shares!

What absolute rubbish to say what happens in the US comes here, they have had higher fvfs and have to pay them on item price plus postage for years now, has that come to Aus?

There are other, different policies on th UK site that have existed for years, Have they come to Aus?

The ecommerscesite gets it wrong as often as it gets it right and as said before it has nothing to do with anything but the US site.

Get with the times. It hasn't been OZtion for a couple of years. And your aka is wrong too.

smek phone ebay and tell them what has happened with that buyer.

They might refund the FVF fee as the listing states pick up only and the location to do so.

Fees on a $99 sale are worth trying to get credited back to you.

Non payer dispute would have been the better option but hind site is great.

Hi yes thats what the guy told me today but he said too late as I had already tried to cancel it. He said he could try again but she could just reject again. he said just delete the sale out of your menu so you don;t have to see it and hopefully I can forget about it if she stops ringing and emailing. oh the joys of selling on ebay! thanks for your reply smek

They can cancel the transaction for you smek so call back again and ask for a supervisor and ask if they can refund your FVF due to the buyer not reading the description and the refusal of a mutual cancellation.

just wondering if the US store rates are doubling also?      Sometimes dropshipping and keeping your market in the US is a good idea,  especially since our postage rates also are putting us out of business.

And a fair bit about QS. Gunna let cards work out for him/herself what that stands for.

Not thrilled about my store subscription fees doubling. Been happily and steadily selling through my store for a few years now and I'm ok with the current fee structure as it stands (especially for selling music).

Not closing the store though, will just have to press on and hope they cut me some slack in the future in between the monthly pounds of flesh. 😕
