eBay fee rates

Here are the new FVF fees for "non-store" auctions . . . this is what is causing most of the uproar, I think:

I don't sell a lot, but lately I have tried to list 10 or 20 new auctions every week or two. Just re-focusing my own collection, selling off dupes and a few titles to fun other purchases. So, this isn't harmful to any business plan that I have. But, I feel for those sellers that are border-line Power Sellers.

 

For my small volume, I'll keep using ebay. I've got my listing fee down to 30¢ per item now, by starting at 99¢ opening price, hosting my own photos, and never using any pricy features like Gallery/Sub-Title/Super-Size, etc. This will help offset the higher fees, I guess.

I was under the impression that they were to be reducing the ending fees. For selling, ebay now officially sucks even worse than before.

 

Selling on comiclink is now even more appealing.

Spooning funny how they roll out a media campaign about lowering fees when in fact they have increased fees a great deal.

That was my first impression when I read beyond the headline.

Never judge a book by its cover, right?

I completely agree. Who cares if they have decreased insertion fees by a nickel.
