EBAY HAVE FINALLY GOT RID OF LOW PRICE SELLERS

[rota65]

YES AFTER 10 YEARS OF SELLING, EBAY HAVE FINALLY PUSHED LOW PRICED SELLERS OFF THE CLIFF, I SELL RECORDS AT 50p EACH AND WITH EBAY'S BUYER PROTECTION IT BUMPS THE PRICE UP TO £1.24 WHICH IS MORE THAN MOST OF THEM ARE WORTH, WHO'S GOING TO BUY A £1.50 LOAF OF BREAD FOR £3.75, AND I CAN'T BECOME A BUISNESS SELLER BECAUSE OF THE INSERT FEES AS YOU HAVE TO PAY EVEN IF YOUR ITEM DON'T SELL, I USED TO LIST 1000 RECORDS FOR FREE AND SOLD AROUND 150, NOW I CAN ONLY LIST 300 OF WHICH I WOULD ONLY SELL AROUND 50, THAT MEANS 250 INSERT FEES DOWN THE DRAIN, SO THANK  YOU TO THE IDIOT WHO CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA YOU HAVE LOST ANOTHER SELLER, PLUS I BUY LOTS OF RECORDS FROM LOW PRICE SELLERS, AND NOW WITH THE BP IT PRICES ME OUT OF MANY PURCHASES SO I AM BUYING LESS, BUT I DON'T SURPOSE EBAY GIVE A MONKEY'S, TIME TO GIVE E-BID A GO AND SUMMERS COMMING BACK TO CAR BOOT SALES, TO ALL MY CUSTOMERS IF THEY SEE THIS, CHEERS FOR YOUR CUSTOM.

Maybe sell them in batches ?

maybe say pick 5 of the following 

and then list all the titles you want and buyer messages you  their requirements. Or do listings of batches of similar genre  Just an idea  

it is pants though for cheap items

ebay should NOT have implemented a blanket 75p but graduated it from 5p or something if they felt the urgent need for bpfs 

cos on 99p items it’s like 75 % more expensive

i call it stupid and gross and greedy and  incoonsiderate at best

THOUGHT OF DOING THAT, BUT AGAIN AFTER BP THEY ARE PRICED MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE WORTH, I BUY A LOT OF JOB LOTS LIKE THIS BUT IT'S PRICED ME OUT OF BUYING, AND YES THEY SHOULD IMPLEMENT THE BUYER PROTECTION FOR ITEMS STARTING AT £5 THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE, AND MAYBE THEY WOULD'NT BE LOSING SO MANY BUYERS AND SELLERS

30,000 items sold on a private account and you admit to being a business but not being able to afford the fees. 

If you can't afford to operate properly as a business you shouldn't be using ebay to sell on at all.

Buyers from business accounts don't get charged the buyer protection fee.

DOES'NT SAY ANYWHERE THAT I AM A BUISNESS, PRIVATE SELLER WHO COLLECTS RECORDS I BUY JOB LOTS AND SELL OFF WHAT I DON'T WANT AND TRY AND GET MY MONEY BACK, I'M NOT EVEN ON IT FOR PROFIT, AND WHAT A REMARK ABOUT AFFORDING TO OPERATE PROPERLY, I CAN AFFORD THE FEES BUT PAYING FEES FOR ITEMS THAT MAY NOT SELL IS MAD, I THINK THATS GOOD BUISNESS SENSE, EBAY WAS ONCE FUN, GETTING RID OF ITEMS AROUND THE HOUSE YOU NO LONGER NEED, NOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BUISNESSES AND HOW MUCH MONEY THEY CAN GET FROM THEM
