Ebay has increased the cost of the items i am selling without my consent

[vivienne9194]

I've had no sales for a couple of weeks, just checked on active sales and noticed Ebay has put an increase on my items for sale, I've been selling them at £5.30 and now they are £5.76 ?????

I am happy with £5.30, also Ebay didn't send me a notification for my last sale and had the nerve to notify me i was late to dispatch.

I cant get to speak with anyone at Ebay

Is anyone else having a problem like this?  

Maybe it's time to leave

Presumably that is the well advertised buyer protection fee.

If you upgrade to business seller, no more SD, you can charge what you want and choose your own carrier.

Not exactly new, was higher but ebay has just reduced it particularly for low value items. Have you only just noticed?

You have had at least 5 sales recently and all would have had the buyer fee added, originally 75p plus 4%, now reduced to 10p plus 7% up to £20, then slight reductions as price increases. At around £30 there is only pennies in the difference . All really a big con.

Not liked or welcomed by buyers or sellers.

adding to the advice already given -

you signed eBay's T&C so they have your consent.

The problem is that when buying from you buyer's are paying fees they should not be paying.
