I listed a bunch of stuff the other day, and it only cost 25¢ per item --- this is no big deal at all. It's their new Final Value Fees that are going to stop small-time sellers from listing. Just my 2¢

I haven't listed one thing since they raised the fv. I might this week haven't decided yet.

Bingo!

 

Does this include adding a reserve?

@#$^& Showcase-New-England threw out another ton of modern in the Silver-Age category!

Ugh... isn't this worth reporting? And the fella lives less than 20 minutes from where I live and he wouldn't even meet me for a pickup when I was looking to buy one of his ASM #1s. I know it's his choice, but most I know are totally fine with doing this.

It's only 15-cents to list an item for 99-cents, they lowered it a WHOLE nickel, from 20-cents... so..you are saving 14-cents for each listing.

 

I used to do that, I'd spend hours listing 20 items, save $2.80. I could work at MacDonalds for an hour and save more;)

It wouldn't bother me if it was an older bronze that like Amazing Spidey 98 or something, but some are just a few years old.

 

Looks like I can't list for the penny, I don't have enough Detailed Seller Ratings. Darn I was going to list a few thousand moderns in the Golden age section too!

At this point, they've lowered the cost of entering the eBay market (listing fees) but have made it prohibitive due to the FVF. If they want biz then they need a 0% FVF day. This suggests to me that they are insulting a seller's intelligence and understanding of their cost structure.

Yup. Under the new structure, listing fees are just the tip of the iceburg.

Ebay is nuts.

 

I was listing an ATV trailer for $499 in ebay motors. the listing fee is $40 and the FV is $50.... WTF?

 

$90 out of 499? That's like 20% right off the bat....not even counting Paypal

Needless to say I listed it in parts and it cost me 3.50. But I can see how those fees alone will deter sellers from using ebay

It's the new eBay philosophy whereby the Seller now "takes it in the rear..."

OUCH!

Too much bulllee for the 1 cent

I tried but couldn't find the link from last week with the panel in it of Spidey taking it in the rear from the Sandman or some other villian. It would be an appropriate panel to post here & now.
