Free selling / Pro Starter

[geeky-meeks]

Hi All,

Ok, I am confused, maybe.

I have been moved to the Pro Starter plan but I am also eligible for the free selling. I have read the bits & pieces from EBay about all of this.

I sell a variety of stuff, at various pricing ($10 to $50 generally) & use my own packaging (boxes) or Aust Post satchels (not pre-paid). I don't use EBay labels. 

Free selling sounds great, but I have to use EBay labels & I can't sell anything under $20. Is this correct ?

Can I / should I have 2 accounts - 1 for free selling & 1 as Pro Starter ?

Or do I just stay on Pro Starter & suck up the fees as I have been doing.
It is all very silly if you ask me.

Yes, you can sell stuff under $20….use envelopes too; they don’t require a label. I wonder if a buyer ‘bulks up’ and takes you over $20, what will happen then ??

So I can sell stuff under $20 on both the free selling & Pro Starter ?

I am in a similar situation to you .. and sell a variety of stuff which was all mine as I am destashing hobbies and items I dont use .. like you, I use my own packaging and many items will go as normal untracked post which ebay does not seem to cover .. I think I read somewhere in one of their posts that if item is under $20 (and presume this would be total of item plus post)  then it was not mandated to use Ebay labels ..but I am unsure ..  I also liked to revert to the old ebay format for sending as I find this better than the new one but it seems the ability to change to the old format has been eliminated ..

I don't like to use envelopes because once you put your item in it, it can only be so thick.

Yes, and use your own postage methods on both

you don't get free selling for under $20 items or Pro Starter

You would need to purchase a label

Not for under $20
