I have been an eBay seller for over twenty years and I’ve never had any issues with fees until the last year or so. I keep getting messages telling me it’s free for sellers then I sell something (or not( and then I get regular bank charges , even on months I haven’t sold, I don’t know if my settings change when it auto resists or what’s in doing wrong?
I generally only sell old clothes - I’m disabled with fluctuating weight due to mobility and medication so much of what I do is buy and sell replacing items at different sizes.
EBay items sell far higher than Vinted but the lack of clarity on fees makes it really hard for me to know where to pitch my price.
i also have dyscalculia so find maths complex but don’t recall eBay ever being this complicated before?
im finding Vinted much quicker and clearer , selling at much lower prices is still worth it for me to save all the confusion but as an old ebayer I don’t want to give up on it completely !
also , slightly different subject but is eBay more filled with multiple international businesses that say they’re uk based but actually aren’t?
have seen a lot of exactly the same items at the same price from Multiple sellers , same description etc and if I’ve orders believing it’s uk based it has taken an extraordinarily long time to arrive.
i guess my bottom line is eBay doesn’t feel as transparent as it once did
