I like that extra pictures are now free, however, doubling the final valve cap to $100 for the first 30 listings is ridiculous. If anyone is thinking of selling something for over $630 do it before the 2nd of May, as it can save you up to $50!

Hi when the ebay has mentioned saying :

*****************************

FREE pictures and listing upgrade changes

Get 12 FREE pictures on every listing including Gallery

FREE Supersize and Gallery Plus �

**********************************

Does this mean that -  Gallery picture (AU $0.59) the image which you add so that you get your items image in the search list is going to be FREE??

I need clarification on this because it says "Galary Plus and Picture Pack"

It would be highly appreciated if someone can clarify on this.

Thanks in advance

Where you say "To upload tracking information and delivery confirmation to My eBay" ....

Does that mean that Receipted Delivery would be sufficient (the receipted delivery that is available to Australia Post contract customers)?

Once again, you are kicking book sellers in the teeth.  Shame Ebay Shame.

You have flooded the market with price dumping by overseas sellers, done the dirty on us with the irresponsible media shipping rates and now increasing prices for listings.

Tell me, where do you buy NEW stock for under $5 in Australia?  You can't.

But I am expected to now sell books for less than I pay my wholesaler, pay the ever increasing ebay and paypal fees and ship Free Post????

Why not just shoot us all in the head now - or better yet, stop pretending you are doing this for the sellers.

Go on!  Delete the book categories or make it Big Sellers Only.  Because that is what you are doing with very little stealth.

I'm going to agree with Love Books here.

Increasing the insertion fees for media sellers is just going to hit us again.

There are currently approx 10 million books/magazines etc for sale on Ebay Australia  and only 3.9 million of them are listed in Australia. How do we compete?

Raising our insertion rate from 5c to 20c is just going to kill off just about all Australian Book sellers.

Gee I hope I'm misreading your latest updates on fees

[laynesmum]

oh good. On further investigation it appears that you aren't raising the insertion fees for media sellers.

Well done Ebay, now on to the rest of the email 🙂

Could eBay please clarify how this will affect book stores?  We currently pay a 5cent listing fee and a higher FVF% due to the low value of most of the items we list.  Also the store cost, I understand it is going to be increased to $24.95 but what about later in the year when the Basic store is removed altogether?

Did anyone out there do the eBay survey last year?  All questions pointed towards an eBay store costing a lot more than $24.95 - I think the prices started at $79.95/per month in the survey.
