I currently have 176 items listed on my main account. Didn't pay for one of them...........and I don't pay the fees on any of them! Only a nong would pay the fees themselves and then complain about how much they are >_<
yes we have established you do not like paying for things you spend time hunting for boxes rather than just buying them cool you save money but I value my time more than a few cent. You wait for free listing to get your items up rather than paying a small fee to make sure you can list items without worrying about finding free listing offers once again I value my time. Even though you have a very large profit margin you still think a buyer should pick up ebays fees well I do not and personally i doubt if the fee where not there your buyers would see any difference in the price they pay I will let you think they would but come on your the person who check an extra 20% on top of what you think is a fair price for BIN
I happen to buy groceries most weeks, which I'm sure most others do too....unless you buy take out all the time. I pay for my groceries while the young lad by the name of David takes a box of boxes to my car. You see, they know I collect them, so they save them for me. No work on my part, and certainly no effort (apart from the tedious task of doing shopping which I loathe). I told them I'd be happy to go out to the dock and collect the boxes myself, but young David is more than happy to bring them out for me. I think he fancies me.
I also get a lot of boxes from work. No effort there either. I often find a box of boxes sitting in front of my locker, or a pile on top. Only effort is to carry them to my car.
As for using free listing promotions? So what? When did that become a crime? Jealous that I get them and you don't? Even if I don't use the promotions, which I sometimes don't, my sales are still high. The 176 items listed will be all gone by the end of the month. That will be a nice chunk off my mortgage. Once they're gone, I've still got most of the 40 allocation for the month, so shall use them. It's quite a few more than your 19 for the last 90 days.
I don't have an issue paying for anything. I just know how to maximise my profits, which I thought was good business sense. If something needs to be bought, I buy it. I don't buy it out of my pocket though, it comes out of the profits. The profits that the buyers paid. That then becomes an expense, which I claim back on my tax.
As a matter of fact I actaully think good on you for saving money but I really am not going to bother doing it I would rather just pay and be done with it it also has nothing to do with the fact I pay the fees on postage
Jealous you get the free listing and i do not not in the least the $20 is well and truly more than covered and I would rather not bother worrying about it but good on you for saving $20 a month not sure what the 19 in the last 90 days is all about but I have a feeling it has nothing to do with if I pay the fees not the buyer
Sorry did you just say it comes out of the profits? I thought you charged extra so you do not pay out of YOUR profits now you have confused me do the fee come out of your profits or not?
There is a very simple exercise to see where the fees come from at the start of the year we had a postage increase how many seller increase the postage cost by $0.33 a stamp and $0.55 for priority, if offered, I think you will find those that increased the prices increased by $0.30 a stamp and $0.50 and I am sure if Aupost increased parcel costs by 10% tomorrow most seller would only increase by 10% not 11% need to cover the fees as well. Yes some would but most sellers would not because we pay the fees NOT the buyers
