Ebay really have no clue ! the recent changes are geting worse ! So `free to sell on ebay` is nothing more than a joke , the `buyer protection fee` does what exactly ? other than push the price up , sellers get offers made less the fee so are invariably declined so as not to lose money , now they want all postage going through them so any packaging costs have to be added to the listing , it now means a lower priced item is pointless listing . a simple item i would usually list around £4.99 , now has a buyer protection fee (ok it says `may` have a buyer protection fee added but ive not listed anything that doesnt !) then add a small contribution towards packaging and include the listing fee and you are closer to £10 than the £5 you originally were selling it for .
Ebay clutching at straws to recoup any money they have lost offering so called `free` selling and preventing sellers deciding the postage themselves will only lead to lost sales for sellers and reduced income for ebay . ive an idea , how about leaving us alone to do what we as sellers do best , before you lose us altogether as sellers ?
