Ebay Australia short-changing? Higher fees , less free listings. 3 Questions

How come that ebay Australia charges 10.9% on sales, when Europe & America charge 10%?

How come that ebay Australia charges fees on postage when the others don't?

How come the ebay Australia has only 40 free listings per month when USA has 100, France has 150, Germany has 500 and UK has 1000???

I don't think I have been  managed yet. And I definitely don't stay on 40. The number is at 5 currently, which I will use this afternoon and then... No trading on ebay until next month. Most of my stuff sells for $5 including postage and after fees and postage I have about $2 I actually got, so paying $1.65 per listing is out of the question. Fun fact: In Europe it costs only 50 cents (At least in France) but that is out of the question, too.


Hope you get managed payments soon then!

250,000!!

 

Managed payments gives 250,000 free listings, and the counters no longer move.

I am starting to read about the managed thing right now. I never even heard of it until today. I am not a business, just a civilian collector with a hobby.

Thanks everyone for your time and help.

All the best!

Cheers!
