eBay UK Raises Success Fees for Casual Sellers

eBay UK is changing the fee structure for Private (non-business) sellers, moving to a flat rate commission fee for fixed price items beginning July 21st that will result in higher commission fees compared to the current tiered pricing. eBay UK sent the following letter to sellers on Monday:

On 21 July 2011, the final value fee for fixed price listings (Buy It Now) will be changed to a flat rate of 10%, up to a maximum EUR50.00. This new flat fee replaces the current tiered structure, making it simpler and easier for you to calculate up-front the fees you'll pay. As before, you won't pay any final value fee if your items don't sell. The new calculations only apply to items listed or scheduled to start on or after the 21 July 2011.

eBay had announced a similar new fee structure for its UK business sellers in May that hit some sellers particular hard. For example, Final Value Fees (FVF) for Clothing, Shoes & Accessories had been a tiered pricing schedule, beginning at 8.75% and decreasing to 5.25% down to 1.5%, as the selling price increased. But beginning in May, business sellers began paying a flat 12% FVF in the Clothing Shoes & Accessories category.

10% is madness
And 12% on clothing is crazy.

I wonder if these new fees will apply to the large major re-sellers they are trying to attract ?

Lets hope more sellers come over to ebid and stop listing on ebay, so that buyers will start to see us.

Madness, indeed! I'll bet they won't dare soak the big businesses like that, God forbid anyone should get a dime out of Wally.

BTW: After the way they treated those women in the class action suit, I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart anymore; Kmart is just as cheap and closer, too.

Nice going Feepay, let's hope it benefits us to the tune of lots of new sellers and buyers.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
