Did selling fees recently go up?

I havent been around these boards for a while and I almost never read emails from ebay, but I just noticed my fees are higher than they used to be. Not quite sure when they went up Smiley Embarassed maybe I need to change store subscriptions?

 

It was already too expensive anyway, and why on earth would they raise the fees now, didnt they just start charging fees on postage as well?

 

Most of my fees have goe up $1 - $4 per item Smiley Mad

Missed seeing you around punch.

If you know about the fees on postage, that was the last increase.

It's still 9.9% capped at 250.

 

But then again I don't know about store fees.

Thanks kopes 🙂

 

Just did a quick calculation and it looks like mine went up from 7% to 8% Smiley Frustrated I'm getting very close to giving ebay up, its simply not worth it. With bigger sellers constantly undercutting and fees and postage always on the rise its getting pretty hard to make a buck.

I noticed some of your products prices end in a zero.

Perhaps make it 42 instead of 40 or 125 instead of 120.

I would imagine with that type of product a couple of dollars won't make a buyer change mind.

 

I guess you are talking about the way things have gone generally over the last few years.

I notice you mention the high quality of the product, if it's not made in China, perhaps state where it's made so it's seen as not made in China. and of a better quality.

I think I need to do an overhaul of my listings, been a while since I have...I've just had a bit too much on my plate.

 

I'm actually phasing out all my generic items and just sticking to genuine products in future which is something none of the others do. I need to update the photos etc as well. Its just so time consuming, maybe I'll do it over Christmas 🙂

 

To be honest i think I'm just over ebay in general, might be time to go out and get a job in the real world!
