The store fees we are going to be forced to change to are Featured $499 and Anchor is $99.95 are we going to be foreced to pay that much or pay only $24.95?

Nothing will be done until we stop using this service there needs to be a stand somewhere whats the Point selling here when there's hardly any money being made. I am starting to sell of whats in my store and put the extra money i dont spend on ebay fees into my PartyCraze web site. I made more profit again this month on my web site than here. I will decrease what i list here now to sell of before we are forced to pay $99.95 for a store each month its out of control! I would love to see a mass walk of and everyone drop off at the same time. They have to much control with out any competion!

The featured store fee will be $24.95 per month when this change happens.

Insertion fees will be 20 cents.

Final Value Fee will be a flat 7% - you'll pay a bit more FVF for the items you have over $75, and a bit less for the items under that amount.

With the amount you have listed and only a few items over $75, you'll save money after these changes.

My post from this morning seems to have disappeared into the ether, so I'll put the info up again.

Featured store will be $24.95 per month.

Insertion fees will be 20 cents.

FVF will be a flat 7%. This will cost more for items over $75, but less for items under that.

Your costs should go down when these changes are introduced.

Figures it would reappear after re-posting. :_|

Good on you ebay, making it appear nice and glossy, like you are doing nice free things for your sellers. I have now been informed that because of the FVF changes and all the other changes, I am going to pay ebay an extra $1000 per month. Absolutely unacceptable. Looks like I am spending time on my website business development.

correction - $1000 per qtr, not as bad a per month - but bad all the sameX-(

"Reduced number of insertion fee tiers for auction-style formats – down from six to three"

Digital*ghost had a good reply but I can't find any link that states insertion auction fees for ebay stores. I can only find buy it now fees. The fees given in the thread above are for casual sellers plus Power Sellers & sellers registered as a business without a store. I find the Ebay Stores fee page and it only gives fees for BIN. Am I missing something here?

I couldn't find something that explicitly states it, but I'm presuming for auctions the insertion fees are the same as shown on the table I linked to before. The current table for auction insertion fees says the same thing - the notation "For 31+ listings in same month Plus PowerSellers & sellers registered as a business without a store" - which suggests that it excludes store owners, but the fees shown are what store owners are charged for auctions.

It's set out like that because the insertion fees shown apply to both fixed price and auction formats for anyone who has exceeded the 30 free listings, is a Power Seller or registered as a business without a store, and the insertion fees don't change between fixed price and auction formats in those circumsatnces (unless they're multi-quantity), but they do for store owners.

Fixed price listings are (or will be with the new featured store structure) 20 cents no matter what the start price or quantity is (eg if a Power Seller without a store listed something at $15 with 10 available, the insertion fee for the listing would be $3 because it's calculated on 10 x $15), but a store owner will only be charged 20 cents).

So, the insertion fees will (or should) be the same as shown on that table, with a 7% flat FVF. i.e. 50c for up tp $19.99 start, $1.50 for up to $99.99 and $3.00 for start prices $100 or more. The other changes would be no more sliding scale for the FVF, and no charge for a gallery picture.

When can I upgrade to a feature store?
