I’m looking to sell some things on eBay but preferably not paying their silly fees.
Anyone know where to do this? Can’t seem to find info on eBay itself.
If you buy or sell items on eBay, you will find tips and advice on this forum.
eBay
80% selling fees

The 80% off final value fees on eBay tends to be every other weekend, from Friday through to Monday. I'm not sure if everyone gets it at the same time or whether it's staggered, but my next one should be coming up on this Friday.

It's 80% off every fortnight Fri - Mon for me too, via an email invite. I have all my listings on 'buy it now' for the max time of 30 days before the listings renew - the 80% off doesn't carry over upon renewal so every second fortnight when I get the offer I click 'sell a similar item' on each listing to replicate it, delete the original and then post the new listing (if that makes sense?!)
I usually sell around £400 off stuff per month and this means I only pay around 2.5% of this in fees (£10) rather than 12.5% (£50). It's worth it for me to save the £40.
I find whether you get the offer is dependent on your selling standard - one time I had to cancel a few sales due to someone breaking into my car and stealing stuff including the parcels I was about to send. Most unfair, but I didn't get the offer for a year after that!

You don't need to duplicate the listings, just end then them relist in bulk. Much quicker. I do tend to reduce things slightly every time I relist, but it's easy on the bulk edit screen.

You need to use the desktop website to bulk edit - I do it on my iPad, but it might be tricky if you only have a phone....

Where is the bulk edit screen please?
In the seller dashboard/centre?
I only use the app on a mobile (not a pc)

On a phone you should manage to get the bulk view by setting the browser to ‘desktop mode’
The method varies depending on browser and could be a settings option when viewing the page - such as “Open in desktop mode”
