    Be a little careful with multiples of high end items, you might get an auto bot picking you up as a business seller as it fits the ‘pattern’ of a business. 

    Good point - was an old Raid computer drive I was taking apart so sold all the drives individually. But you make a valid point regardless!

    Same here!  I have hardly sold anything in February.  I have just reduced prices on some items - that is as good as paying the FVF!

    Me too.  I had a really good January, but have only sold 2 items in February in spite of reducing my prices.  This is a seller fee in disguise, but is putting buyers off.  I’d rather it was a straightforward seller fee.

    Whilst I accept that fees need to be charged I too would prefer it to be a straight seller fee as I think it just looks better.
