    I think 75% off should be the normal fee.
    Almost 11% is crazy, 2.75% is reasonable.

    • Scab on 20/05/2018 - 15:56

      Almost 11% is crazy

      It's not really, the Trading Post used to charge $30-50 for a few lines for a couple of weeks.

      And you paid whether or not the item sold and they don't have the same exposure as eBay.

        this is going back 20+ years but listing on the weekend trading post paper was free, deadline was Tues/Wed and you fax in your ad to them :P

  • carljen on 20/05/2018 - 15:58

    Yeah nothing again , but agree fees are out of control , eBay fees PayPal fees , about 15% for doing nothing , legalised robbery

    • payton on 20/05/2018 - 16:00

      plus you gotta deal with returns - both from legit customer and scammers

      • Scab on 20/05/2018 - 16:04

        This is what sucks, not the fees.

    • Scab on 20/05/2018 - 16:02

      They're hardly doing nothing, servers, programmers and other staff cost money.

      And ultimately it's the buyer who pays the fees, so I don't get why sellers complain.

      • Claire Naps on 20/05/2018 - 16:15

        Agree. You just have to set a price that takes into account the fees you are going to pay.

      • outlander on 20/05/2018 - 19:23

        Yeahhh, no. They money's definitely not going there
        Its mostly about the shareholders and stagnating returns

        • Scab on 20/05/2018 - 20:24

          The point I was making is that eBay have costs just like any other company.

          People see the website and think it costs a few dollars to run.

          And money going to shareholders happens with every public listed company.

        • outlander on 21/05/2018 - 07:29

          @Scab:
          I'm aware. However you were falling into the trap of thinking because there might be some justification for the action, that the action itself is wholly justified.

          Whatever ebays costs are, they are not high enough to justify the recent price increases. That is most likely due to ebay having achieved market saturation, growing to the point there's no where left to grow, and ebay shareholders, having been used to high growth quarter after quarter, getting restless.

          I'm not advocating they start offering their services for free, but ebay tries to squeeze every drop of blood from the stone. They have advertising on their site for christ sake.

        • Scab on 21/05/2018 - 08:08

          @outlander:

          ebay tries to squeeze every drop of blood from the stone.

          Like every other business, they are there to make as much money possible and maximise the return to shareholders.

          Regardless, sellers complaining about fees are just being greedy.

          They should incorporate the fees in their selling price, the only reason they complain is that they want to keep it all.

          And because it's the internet they expect everything for free.

      Last time I sold a few things with a no listing, massive discount on final sale fees type offer I was getting billed fees on Paypal for 2 months. It took ages to get a response and in the end I was refunded but the experience was just horrible for what was supposed to be essentially fee-free. I'll deal with Gumtree/Facebook marketplace weirdos from now on.

      • ExtraSalt on 20/05/2018 - 17:21

        If you are dealing through PayPal, you will always get charged through Them separately to any ebay promo… Or are you saying ebay fees were being directly charged to PayPal? If thatd the case, I might have to keep an eye on mine as well

        • papercutter on 20/05/2018 - 18:58

          I'm not sure exactly now but the fees were from Ebay coming directly out of my paypal account. You have to agree to that I believe.

        • Bad Wolf on 23/05/2018 - 16:35

          @papercutter:
          Chances are you or ebay has made an error applying the promotion to your items.

          Check in your PayPal automatic payments Sounds like once in the past you’ve set Ebay to automatically bill you, they will bill you the previous month part way through the next month.

      • Claire Naps on 20/05/2018 - 21:05

        The free/discounted offer would only have been valid for the period your items were originally listed (up to 30 days). If any of your items were automatically relisted, then full fees would have been payable when they sold.

  • payton on 20/05/2018 - 16:00

    maan, the last time ebay had that 4 days where sellers didn't have to pay any final value fee was great
    I should've booked leave from work to sell all my sh**

  • AaronR on 20/05/2018 - 16:01

    I'm eligible for this one but haven't been for the last couple of selling promos. Thanks.

    • outlander on 20/05/2018 - 19:24

      I could kiss you merge. Thanks

  • [Deactivated] on 26/05/2018 - 17:00

    Anyone list anything and not have it marked on the promotional page as each listing being ‘used’ ?

    • Bad Wolf on 27/05/2018 - 21:09

      Listed a few things, they didn’t reduce the 10 items.
      When one sold the Id number is now showing in the promo and now displaying 9 left.
