hi
No doubt this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it with the new search!
Ebay's new final value fee changes have gone up dramatically. Is anyone else feeling that unless their market will take increased prices they won't be able to sell and make any money on ebay anymore.

Whats it gone up to?
I dont think even a big increase will effect trading, simply because ebay is unparralelled in popularity and accessibility.0 -
its gone up for certain categories only, but those categories have also been given reduced insertion fees...Books, Music, DVDs, Film & TV, Video Games

It has gone up in media categories. The reduced listings fees does not make up for the 4 % hike in FVF0

Book sellers have been posting furious comments on the Community Boards. There's seems to be a groundswell among the antiquarian stockists towards withdrawing, so much will they lose.

And video games too. However I plan to circumvent this by listing all my video games in the "Toys and Games" category instead
Either in Electronic games, or "Other games". There's no way I'm paying 10 percent FVF plus Paypal - this change is ONLY good for commercial sellers with huge inventories who are constantly relisting. Basically eBay want to try to let them compete with the likes of Amazon and Play - and this is why they've made this change. Of course, it really screws over all those who make one-off sales - but hey, eBay really doesn't give a monkeys about them any more - they're just small fry.For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also ...0 -
