New eBay Private Seller Fees from Feb 2025

[doctordidge]

Just for clarity, I assume the Seller has to take the hit on the buyer fee?  For the  example given by eBay below does the Seller only receive £20-£1.49 = £18.51?  If so, as a percentage, this is 7.5%...  So going forwards, us private Sellers will need to hike  our  initial price by minimum 7.5% or find other Selling platforms.

I am so sick of 'Buyer is king '

'Buyers will pay up to 4% of the item price, plus £0.75.** For example, when they see an item for £20, the fee of £1.49 will already be part of the price.'

The buyer's fee is added to the sellers item price.    So if for instance the item price is set by the seller at £20, buyer pays a buyer protection variable fee of 4% of £20 = 80p.   Plus the buyer protection flat fee of 75p.   So the item price that buyer sees will be £21.55 + postage.   Seller gets their original item price of £20.
