In general, the rewards for high-volume business sellers are to enable us to compete with low volume private sellers, who have lower overheads (and probably don't need to make any particular price to cover the cost of the item). It is unlikely that even with volume discounts a business seller can afford to sell too many items very very cheaply, as they would soon go out of business. :cry: Hi Naj, I don’t think you need to worry…

As a small, causual, low volume seller, I get the feeling these changes are squeezing me out..the emphasis is on rewarding high-volume business sellers. Us little folk count as part of the community too and we help bring character, interest and appeal to the site.

(No response whatsoever, actually.) I made the comment on the PS forum that when I becamme a PS in 2002 it was becoming a member of the International Powerseller Program - what happened to the global marketplace?

As the discount would appear to be retrospectively applied to the total invoice FVF section, it would be messy to have to then split those FVFs down into different sites, as they are not at present. If the discount were applied at the point of listing, like CLDs, it could probably be made site dependent, but I don't think eBay are going to want to completely alter their accounting procedures.

It's worth noting that both eBay Singapore and eBay Netherlands have notices up today saying that many of their members list on other national sites, and will be entitled to the discounts thereof. More clarification is needed from eBay as to exactly how this is going to work for individual members. Nice one, Mark.

I will be getting the 30% as the fvf coming from the USA is not triggered. It is the site I am registered on that qualifies my discount. So basically, when the bill goes through, it takes it off. I am expecting an email to clarify this :-) Mark Just spoke to my Account Manager.
