Reduced Fees for Listing CDs, DVDs, Books, Video Games

I don't know if this has already been mentioned but I discovered today that listing fees have been reduced for "media" items such as CDs, DVDs, Books & computer games.

They are now as low as 5p & 10p

For details see this link http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html and scroll down the page to see the media item prices.

    There's a long thread about it on here somewhere, but I can't find anything on a general search as I can't remember what the thread was called.

    The reduced listings were announced about 6-8 weeks ago and I seem to recall the discussion went on for a few weeks.

    the listing fees on those categories have been reduced,yes... but the final value fees percentage on them has nearly doubled.

    The FVF is now a flat rate 9% of the sale price on media items inline with most other EU/EEA ebay sites. That's okay on low value items, but if you now sell a highly collectible CD or LP worth in the hundreds of quid, you face a hefty FVF bill. Much better to list rare media items like first edition books on ebay.com...
