Change in ebay seller fees

[BouncingTurtle]

here

Basically if you only sell low value items, it is going to get more expensive to sell
These don't come in unti 24/9 so if you got small items to sell I would sort it out now...

Wankers

oh great, this is why they're suddenly making the gallery pictures free then, to soften the blow

I think it is dreadful!
I sell and buy low value items.
I hate 'buy it now'and you currently have to scroll down past so many to find an auction item.
I don't like buying from people selling as a business. I want people like me who are just having a clear out.
They have ruined the whole thing!

God ebay is shit.

They take every bloody opportunity to screw us over don't they.

I have a few things to go, might just get them out of the way now then.

I notice no cheap listing recently. I was waiting for one of those.

maybe I'm being daft here - but where are the prices for auction listings? I can only see the insertion fees for BIN

As my second foray into ebay selling ended in disaster, I doubt I'll try selling on there again.

I can't believe some of the price hikes though.......50% increase is hardly fair is it?

I think they are trying to turn it into a traders only auction site and the no increases on media and technology is a ploy to keep people from switching their business to places like Amazon.

Its crap, they're going to be taking nearly 10% of the final value fee too.

I think mumsnet should have its own 'ebay' for selling kids clothes etc...its something most of us would want to sell and buy.

Sorry folks only just got back to this!

FAQ - you need to scroll down for the auction inserting fees, they are below the BIN. And you are not thick - I puzzled over it as well!

Daisy - that's exactly what I thought!

Southeastastra - you can search for auction listing only, using the search function on the left side of the category listing.

I use e bay regularly to clear out toys and clothes but I have only just worked out how much it is costing me. I have just sold a few bits and bobs for 99p and between e bay and paypal I'm left with 43p so it's really not worth my time listing them, checking them, parcelling them up and posting them. I suppose I could sell things in bigger bundles but then no one wants to pay the postage. Suppose it's back to car boot sales for me.

I use it to clear out small items and I never start anything at more than £10, it is commonly £1 or less.
Are there any alternate auction sites?
I am not keen to go back to car boot sales because the kind of thing that I sell can rise far beyond my starting price and the right people simply won't see them at car boot sales.

nope still can't see the insertion fees - only final value fees for auctions

actually - sorry just saw
