Ebay have just become plain stupid, manipulative and GREEDY. They offer 40 free listings now, but after that $1.50 per listing to $100 - it USED to be just 50 cents a listing.


 


International sellers get 50 free per month and then 30 cents a listing.


 


Basically ebay australia just ripping off australians - just like Ikea does.


 


My husband used to list 200 items a month, now he will ONLY list 40, so there is about 160 listings that ebay Now miss out on, as I said they are just stupid and greedy.


 


Also, the increase in selling fees of 25% - from 7.9% to 9.9%.  Probably against australian law to increase a fee that much in one hit, but given its Ebay, the australian government & ACCC will probably do nothing.


 


Ebay think they have a monopoly, but don't realise that monopolies will eventually disappear & fail, because the people that create the income for them will eventually go elsewhere.


 


And ALL this from a company that does NOT Employ 1 australian person..
