I understand that eBay has to make a profit but this is just not working. I am having to reduce my selling price by 4% to achieve the advertised price I am seeking, effectively a selling fee of 4%. Buyers seem to be staying away as I have only sold 2 items since this was imposed when I would normally have expected to sell 10-12 in that period.
I know other platforms use this system but they are selling relatively low value items. 4% of £20.00 would only be 80p but 4% of £200 would be £8.00, enough to put buyers off.
Are other private sellers finding a significant reduction in their turnover?
