eBay

Just noticed all my items listed this week Ebay have increased my starting price by 75p+ 4% this will impact on my sales as some items are listed low to sell. If Ebay want to get Buyer Protection from the Buyer they should add it at checkout so not to make it look like the Seller is on the make.

Is this legal to alter the sellers listing price? I think this could be the end of Ebay for Private sellers. I have been a seller for 20 years this is the worst I have seen it

A 76p buyer protection fee on a 99p listing is absolutely ridiculous. Go back to charging sellers or remove for items below £2. Most of my items are 99p and have stopped selling. Will all come off shortly and do joblots to get rid of all my listings if Ebay doesn't change this stupid fee. Then they'll get nothing from me after 23 years.

I ended most of my listings over a month ago - put some back as testers to see if SD had been enforced as yet - still accepting postage as my choice ...at the moment. Not sold a thing and views are practically zero.

Obey has shot themselves in the foot, there are so many glitches and blatant errors. In fact go as far as to say the whole issue is a disaster - must be pressure coming soon on those who formulated this mess.

I took my listings to another site, e bid, its slow but I made some sales - so all is not finished. I'm still monitoring daily and will take down the remainder when SD is enforced. Not purchased a thing for months - and will not do so until I'm able to make some money here.
