New Ebay Fee Increase May 1st

Ebay states they have doubled their profits, and then drop this bomb on the occasional seller



<< <i>Starting May 1, the maximum standard final value fee for Auction-style listings will increase to $250. This will only impact fees on transactions $1,111 and above, and only applies to sellers who do not have an eBay Stores subscription >>



It is currently $100.00 and as of May 1st will be $250.00 Thats a 250% increase. Do you think their profits may go up just a little more, ha ha.

This really penalizes the occasional seller and espeacially those who sell in the $1112.00 - $2,500 which just so happens to cover a huge amount of Collector Coins.

This will make the seller fees at the Major Auction houses look a little more palatable.

And Those selling the occasional 32.15 - 100 oz. Silver, or 1 oz Gold Bullion, your seller fee wince factor just went up 250%.. Ouch!

Again this affects the occasional seller not the stores. I suppose we just have to start becomming a regular mercantilist.
