Hello I have been a regular seller on eBay for over 3 Years and along with the trials and tribulations it has been a lot of fun, and has kept my wife and I very busy, and we love it, now after receiving my Highest bill from eBay ever I was momentarily in shock, the Fees have made it not so much fun any more with the Commission up as well, to nearly 10% why don't they just make it 10% and be done with it.
I have to cut back now as the cost is obviously too high.
After the 40 free Listings, if I put an item on starting at $5 0r $6.00 and it doesn't sell then it has cost me a $1.50, (Is that right)? then it is not worth putting on so then I ask myself are most of the items I put on worth putting on , the Answer is no, if you go to an Auction you don't pay handling fees if the item doesn't sell.
eBay has become greedy and they don't care about the little People like us, and they wouldn't care if we packed up and left, just like the Post Office cut out the 200gram Postage charges.
I know People who only put on 40 items a Month and no more, and I know People who don't bother anymore, out of our 36 Favourite Sellers there is hardly anybody who has items listed.
I am Considering looking at Gumtree, and there is another I heard about recently, they have to be Cheaper than eBay.
If eBay cared about their Customers they would do a Nationwide Survey to find out what we want, if I was in charge I would scrap all this free listings crap and make every item to list 50cents, isn't that so simple, no matter how cheap or expensive the item is, and People would come back, and we would go back to enjoying what we do.
