ebay's new lower fee schedule? NOT!

16 years ago

what do you all think of the new lower fee schedule on e-bay? If you don't sell your items, it's lower, but if they sell the actual final value fee is a lot higher. Bummer! So...

I started a new store on buyitsellit, it's free to start one on there. Then I linked it to my regular business website so that people can go from one to the other and shop. And it looks really professional. The only problem is that I dont think that site has the traffic of e-bay.

I figured others on here sold on ebay too and might be interested in this new place I found.

I am not sure how it works with stores but for regular fees if you maintain a very high detailed rating score of 4.8 the will lower your final ending value fees by 15 percent with the discount if you can get it plus the free gallery it is not so bad of a deal. With the discount for me it actually works out to be a ok deal as I use gallery on every single auction I run. Also hopefully it will get sellers to improve there customer service and general selling practices.

Yeah, I just read the nitty-gritty and it looks pretty awful and deceptive. danidoo, there are some other fine-print items they are implementing that make it impossible to attain the 15% discount.
