Comments on: eBay fees : DOWN!!! http://tamebay.com/2007/01/ebay-fees-down.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:17:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andrew Titcombe http://tamebay.com/2007/01/ebay-fees-down.html#comment-3252 Andrew Titcombe Tue, 08 May 2007 06:42:26 +0000 http://tamebay.pobox.co.uk/2007/01/29/ebay-fees-down/#comment-3252 No doubt this change will bring out the whingers, just like any other major change, but eBay’s own figures show that the majority of sellers will save money under this new pricing plan. sorry to "whinge" but the increase in commission hits people like us who average slaes in the £6 -£9 bracket PLUS as our listings are no longer visible in the USA default searches we have also lost millions of potential bidders. Main "whinge" is that eBay never told us about this change nor did they warn US buyers they would no longer see UK items. We pay more commission for less customers in other words which is not fair to sellers (but very fair to shareholders I guess) No doubt this change will bring out the whingers, just like any other major change, but eBay’s own figures show that the majority of sellers will save money under this new pricing plan.

I first noticed this yesterday evening, called eBay about it today, and now have heard it’s affecting other users as well. It doesn’t appear to affect everyone though. On top of that sellers have found the new 10p/5p listing fees for media catagories weren’t implemented this morning. Sellers that held off listing for the new rates to take effect are now going to be waiting for invoice credits. [...] [...] Now they’ve broken the “With Bids/Reserve Met” link in My eBay.

Keep an eye on our Cheap Listing Day Calendar in the sidebar of the front page, and you'll get as much notice as we can possibly give you! However, I would also add that if you're intending to make the availability of CLDs a cornerstone of your business plan, that's building on pretty shaky ground.

Have noticed in the past that the UK usually follows Ireland by a week or two on this promotion. Can anybody else confirm this?
