One Reason ebay Sucks For Sellers

Hello.

I, like many others from ebay, are not happy with the changes that
ebay is making this month, mostly the fee hikes, and discouraging store
owners from listing their items as a store…(huh?) that’s right, they
want you to pay for and setup a store, but use their auction format

Let me summerize it for you here……….

$15.95 per month plus 10 cents per listing per month
plus 10% commission on every sale… not including any gallery or extra
services like pictures… then of course there is the 5+% for paypal…

Also remember that eBay wants you to have a Store but not use the
Store listing format, you should use auctions for the majority of your
products…

This is why there are less, and less great deals on ebay….They are
making it so sellers have to charge un-competitive prices, just to be
able to afford to post an auction, and not be in the negative after all
the fee smoke clears.

I, like many others, am going to take my store to somewhere else like hibidder.com.

I will still use ebay, for the time being, but only for auction
items that I can sell at a reasonable cost. I value my customers and
don’t want to be overcharging them because of high marketing costs at
ebay.
