The rich get richer and the poor walk out the door, with all the changes in the past 18 months thats definetly the message eBay has sent my business

The only plus I can see, or change that affects me for that matter, is the increase, eventually, of titles from 55 to 80 characters.

Changes to meet buyer demand on eBay.com.au

I must've been asleep when they surveyed all those buyers who 'demanded' higher fees for sellers.

Hi,
Does anyone know if you can still use Turbo Lister for your 30 free listings per month.

[i-once-was-bump]

The buyer demand they are talking about is that of sellers "buying" eBay space and time to sell their items.

They do not mean those of us who buy a bit of tat every now and then.

Ebay are selling a product to get businesses to use Ebay when they start selling online.

This is all about getting new sellers using BINs and no auctions.

Small sellers, home clear outs sellers and the like are the casuality of this push to get the BIG retailers to move to online selling.

BTW I really like that fact that eBay are going to

incentivise sellers.

This really has to be some sort of a joke.
A 50% increase in Fee's.
Let's break this down shall we.

I sell something for $100.
Before FVF = $5.25 NOW $7.9

I sell something for $500.
Before FVF = $26.25 NOW $39.5

This has got to be some sort of joke, how the hell are any of us better off? really.
Fine if your selling crap under $50 or so you are better off. But how are we better off if we are selling things over $100. We are not.

This just seems like a big old push to get BOGANS on here so they dont have to pay for there stuff to list it.
MORE BOGANS = MORE JUNK = MORE PROBLEMS.

Thanks Ebay Management.
Nice work on the bottom line there....

totally nuts... huge ripp off

So everything under $50 is crap, is it?

I may as well pull all my listings. W*****************

Oh well, will find somewhere else to sell now. That is a massive increase in already ridiculous end of sale fees.
