GOES back to EBAY's slowing $$$ growth for listings....Fees on top of increased fees will the slay the milk cow

They used to have free listing days. I shouldn't complain however, 20 cents is still great! (I don't mind paying the 3% or whatever if the item sells, I just don't like $5 for a listing and it doesn't even sell!).

BigAl · April 23, 2007 11:12AM

does this include reserves, BIN, and high start prices?

fc · April 23, 2007 11:16AM

hm, i always let the coin sell itself.
i have my own webhosting for pics.
insertion fees are the trivial part of the plan because i always
start my auctions at a dollar.

3% here, %3 there, and soon we are talking real money.

And right after I listed a bunch of stuff at the regular price....

Me too, but it gets better.... I waited until after midnight to list a bunch of other low end items. Ummmm.... midnight EST.... NOT eBay time!! Duh ~

MadMarty · April 24, 2007 12:52AM

Those listing days are great, but stuff tends to get buried in the mass of listings!!

Coxe · April 24, 2007 9:33AM

Supposed to be a 20c listing fee regardless of the starting price or reserve. However, I set up a listing with a modest reserve and it wants to bill me for the reserve. In the queue now for the online help. No bargain if the listing is $2.20 instead of $0.20.

Barry · April 24, 2007 10:01AM

*All other fees (Final Value Fees and all other optional listing upgrade fees*) will still be charged.

*Optional Listing Upgrade Fees: Border, Bold, Buy It Now, Featured Plus!, Highlight, Bold, Home Page Featured, Gallery, Gallery Plus, Gallery Featured, Gift Services, Reserve listing fee, Listing Designer, Picture Services, Picture Show, Subtitle, Supersize Picture and extended duration surcharges.

Thanks Barry!

Scavenger · April 24, 2007 10:13AM

Barry,
Are they trying to keep auctiva.com from gaining ground?

Barry · April 24, 2007 11:17AM

I never heard of auctiva.com. Looks interesting. What's the catch?

moonshine · April 24, 2007 11:36AM

Jamie ... I thought your name was Barry.

eBay needs to give about a week or two notice on this kind of stuff. I HATE/Detest that they never give you any warning for the sales.

IMHO

Coxe · April 24, 2007 12:20PM

Got it. Listed 10 items and just chose starting bids that won't lose me much if they go at those prices. The lsiting is a pretty good bargain anyway. Glad to be done.

Scavenger · April 24, 2007 12:53PM

As far as I know there is no "catch" to auctiva.com. I've used it a couple of times and it works fine. There is no listing fee at all but you still have the final value fee from Ebay. I'm sure that in time they will start charging for this but why not use it while you can. The service is totally free.

Coinlearner · May 23, 2007 12:34AM

Tomorrow............20 cents again.
