Yes Fee-Bay screws us again, %8.75 percent sales under $25. %75 percent of my sales are $10-$20 so I guess I'm just one of the Lucky ones as usual, with the listing fee figured in a $10.00 item, E-bay is getting almost a %15 percent cut. If you figure in the auctions that don't sell, they are getting about %20 percent of my sales, hell of a business model!!!!!!!
Come on Google, Please hurry up and get the auction site up and running !!!!!!!!!

I don't mind the increase on the FVF. The new Feedback policy is what sucks.
Under the old fee schedule, you would have paid total fees of $.46 ($.20+$.26), or 9.2% of what you sold it for.
Under the new fee schedule, you will pay total fees of $.59 ($.15+$.44), or 11.8% of what you sold it for.
That's a 28% increase in fees!
When ebay said last week that they would be announcing cuts in insertion fees and increases in final value fees, I expected to break even or maybe even come out a tiny bit ahead. I didn't expect to get hosed for a 28% increase!
Based on the idea that I might come out a little bit ahead with the price changes, I was planning to sell more this year. Now, I'll probably cut back on my listings.
Thanks for nothing ebay.

"Along with changes to the fee structure, eBay said it will change how sellers
show up on customer searches. Those with high rates of customer dissatisfaction
will get lower exposure in a search, the company said."

AFTER a few CRIMINALS posing as buyers have destroyed
your FB, you will not need to worry about higher FVFs. You
will not have ANY sales, because your listings will be on page
500 of the search results.
