eBay.com 5c insertion fees for using Product Details

Golf clubs and cameras and cell phones – oh my! eBay.com are offering 5c insertion fees for a range of items in specified categories when listed with pre-filled item information. The offer runs from 2nd to 15th June, and is valid for fixed price (“buy it now”) listings by sellers with 4.5 or more across all four DSRs. Other fees apply as normal. Check out the full list of categories included; they’re ones where pre-filled item information (aka product details) is perhaps less likely to be used by sellers.

   Another helping hand for the big time seller. All others pay the same. How many of us just trying to get by have new golf clubs, PDAs and such hanging around? Only retailers have them. THE BIG GUY.

   Possibly an indication that people in general do not fill in Pre-filled item information?

   We do not beyond the most basic top level.

   Who has time to click 5 drop down boxes every time they do a listing?

   At 60 unique listings a week, we do not and it has not affected our sales (Antiques and Collectables).

   I am wondering if Ebay have over-complicated things and people are not using the complicated bits.

   Otherwise, why would you encourage people to use it, unless they are in fact “not” using it?
