Ebay seller fees

[uavshop]

Ebay are still stating selling on ebay is free. I quote: ".....it’s now free, so you keep all the cash"

With the addition of compulsory buyer protection fees, this is now a LIE!

If a seller does not get 100% of the selling price, it is not free, and you certainly DON'T get to keep all the cash.

Apparently over £2bn I profit last year is not enough, and to make more they have chosen to try to fool us all with false information, and highly misleading statements. Its not only insulting, I expect it is illegal to say sellers keep all the cash, when they obviously don't.

Erm... your statement would probably be true if you were a business seller, but as a 'private' seller you should get all of the funds due to you from a sale. Buyer protection is on top of the sale price, so that's a separate matter.

Sorry but it's not. Your claim that you 'keep all the cash' is factually
incorrect and open to legal challenge.
Any seller, private or business must consider the cost to the buyer when
pricing.
Today I closed my accounts. My buyers do not need protection, I am honest
to a fault, as my feedback shows.
Sick of corporate greed and misleading statements aimed at hiding that
greed.

Where does it say 'you keep all the cash'?

Your account is still open with three items for sale.

Simply ask Google if it is free to sell on ebay, then look at what comes
up. Its everywhere. Might be good to check with your legal department on
this.
Me, today I closed my other accounts, one more going now.

It's what ebay publishes that matters.

More than one 'private' account, that's unusual.

[uavshop]

That is from the ebay!!! Try doing the search yourself, I'd send you a
screen shot, but there is no facility here for that.

I can only find 'it's free to sell', which is not what you quoted in your opening post.

Challenging me legally?

I think you are getting me confused with eBay, so you would not get very far with a case against me, but you are welcome to try if you feel that strongly about it.

'Sell Your things for Free — Boost your balance selling on eBay. Added
bonus – it’s now free, so you keep all the cash. Sell for free on eBay and
put extra pounds in your pocket. List an item to get...'

This is just one, there are others....

It's alright, I've already got my legal department ready and waiting.

i have not seen anything on the site that says 'you keep all the cash'.  All i can find is that it is free to sell (up to 300 items) and if that there are fees if you want promotions etc.   I have not paid a penny to e bay since it started.   I get what i ask for from the buyer, anything the buyer pays e bay is their business not mine.

You are an 'engager' right? Obviously I'm not challenging you personally
but you represent eBay....at least that what I am assuming. If not, then
why reply?

We are all just ordinary members like you, these are member discussion boards.

How are you not getting 100% of the selling price?

If you list at £20 you get £20, at which point are you paying a fee? Of course you can pay for promoted listing but that is optional

The Buyer fee is added after so why should the seller get that also or do you want that as well as being able to

List for free,

Having the payment processed for free

Having your inherited pipes advertised across the world and connecting you with buyers for free

Seller protection if things go wrong for free

Feel free (excuse the pun) to add anything else you want for free.

Obviously... the eBay community is made up of all sorts and this is its discussion board. Anyone in the community can contribute or respond to posts without representing eBay.

Why post if you don't want replies?
