https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Seller-Central/I-have-sold-nothing-in-6-months-since-the-buyer-protection-fee/m-p/7884670#M743669 <P>I've seen this argument a few times, but I think it ignores the psychology of buyers seeing that extra fee added to the price when they click through - if something was £5 plus fees and it was the fees they objected to, seeing it at £4 plus fees isn't going to change their mindset!&nbsp; I don't think it is the amount of the fees that buyers are worried about, it's the fact they exist at all!&nbsp; I could be wrong of course, and savvy buyers will pay what they consider to be a fair inclusive price regardless of how much is item and how much is fee, but IMO most buyers just see extra cost and balk.&nbsp; There's also a question mark in a buyer's mind of how much they'll get back if they return the item in the end - I'm not sure if it's clear to them that if they pay £10 including postage and fees, they won't just get the item price as a refund, while fees are gone forever.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Fri, 04 Jul 2025 10:36:19 GMT anne.craig 2025-07-04T10:36:19Z
