Ebay New Fees for Buyers & Postage for Sellers !!
« on: January 11, 2025, 05:04:20 pm »

So what do you all think about the new fees for Buyers !!


As a seller this is just plain stupid as it should be the seller who decides how something is to be posted unless the buyer wants to pay more.


So if I sell something for £ 5.00 , ebay will add 95p, if that item is going to say the states then it will cost £ 11.70 for tracked instead of £ 6.50



If you buy an Item from a Private seller as these fees currently do not apply to business sellers you will be automatically charged and Extra 75p + 4% and on top of that they will soon be making it mandatory that postage must be bought via Ebay and will be the buyers choice   %%  and as a recorded / tracked option only. <*< <*<

I have been buying and selling less and less on ebay over the last few months, and I can see that trend continuing with these new charges.

I know they are a business but they are getting greedy, first they reduce free listings from 1000 to 300 per month which to be fair is more than reasonable but then they take away the selling fee and have now doubled it and passed it onto the buyer, but to dictate how you post an item is just not on. This move if not amended will have private sellers leaving in droves but then I do not think they care.  I will sell until I get bored or finally sell all my spares I have, I do sell else where and am looking at Ebid or though not sure if Ebay also own Ebid ?.

My problem was suddenly being locked out of my account, for reasons still beyond my reasoning. Kept telling me to change my password when I do it tells me i am successful, but when i try topen my account it locks me out. I suppose the good thing out of this it stops me purchasing and keeps my wallet from being empty.
