Do eBay still have software and web developers?
Just wondering having seen what a dumpster fire things have become since the buyers fee + 75p has been implemented.
As a seller, surely it isn’t rocket science to implement a system where the seller can send an offer and eBay indicates how much the seller will actually receive after buyers fee + 75p are deducted.
Also an indicator when listing an item as a buy it now and you want to compete with others for sale at say £85 how much your listing will appear for when the buyers fee + 75p are added.
Maybe I’m asking too much.

I think they've let the interns run riot on this one...

I believe ebay think private sellers *shouldn't care* about competing etc..... as, after all, we're just selling our own old tut, and don't really need the money, do we ? 😕

You'd think that an ability to understand junior school level arithmetic would be a requirement for the analysts involved, wouldn't you? They do employ analysts don't they? And testers?
I think I would have gone down the seppuku route out of shame if this had happened on my watch. 😳
