Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

That is ridiculous. It pays to own the marketplace.

Re: EBAY Final Value Fees Increasing for Watches Category
Yep, the new fees are now a deal-breaker. Particularly after seeing a horrible Seamaster rep that sold for two grand just yesterday. What level of service justifies 15%
I just sold and shipped a phone before I have the buyer's money. Their new format caught me by surprise. My bad, but after 225 transactions, I was in the same mode as when PayPal would have been funded before I placed the item in the mail.
I am rapidly losing interest in eBay.

Yep I pretty much won't sell on ebay any more. 15% is absolutely insane for providing a service that costs them fractions of a cent.

Re: EBAY Final Value Fees Increasing for Watches Category
Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't they just essentially taking most of the former 2.9% PayPal fee now that they're handling seller payments directly? I kind of assumed this would happen once they stopped using PayPal to handle seller payments.
Regardless, eBay has been my marketplace of last resort as a seller for a while now. Much prefer the flexibility of forum listings.

Pre PayPal their fee was 10%, after they got rid of PP it went to 12.35%, now being raised to 15% (under 1K). Keep in mind their fee charge includes taxes, shipping and are higher for foreign credit cards.cheddar wrote:Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't they just essentially taking most of the former 2.9% PayPal fee now that they're handling seller payments directly?

One of their main advantage is the wide spectrum of buyers that no one else has.

Ah, that’s right. I had forgotten it was a 13% total chunk with PP (think I always just kind of rounded up to 15%).PetWatch wrote:Pre PayPal their fee was 10%, after they got rid of PP it went to 12.35%, now being raised to 15% (under 1K).
