Buyer protection fee

[ems.treasures83]

Hi there, just wondered if anyone else (private sellers) have noticed their sales dropping since this buyer protection fee was introduced? I've also been receiving lots of low offers - obviously some buyers are offering low to incorporate the fee and I also don't like when I get notified of an offer as it shows the offer with the fee included. I used to love selling on ebay but I've really gone off it now!

You, me and many others. My sales have gone from a low point to "Tanked" since BPF and SD were impossed on Sellers. I even tried using promote my listings and yes I did see a small uptick during March, April has gone back to rock bottom.

Here's a snap shot of Traffic:
