Listing Fee 36P?

[cdkings]

Hi have recently seen the advert on the tv where it states it is now free to list items in the UK and you get 300 listings free a month? However I am trying to upload one listing but it states that the listing fee is 36p?

I sell music memorabilia, is that category not eligible?

[lucy_farmer]

All categories should be eligilble for private sellers to get 'free selling'.

Have you got any 'extras' on your listing?

Things like a 'reserve' if it's an auction, or a second category, or any promotions?

[divinedressesdaily]

its free to list for private accounts only 

business sellers are charged for listings unless they have subscribed to a shop and have listings left within their allowance - but obvs they have paid for a shop so have paid for a listing allowance 

[kidmore_kats]

You're registered as a business seller and therefore pay 36p to list an item.

The free listing is for private sellers

You are registered as a Business Seller --- see >

Thanks for the replies, appreciated, however when I try to change from business to personal account I don't have a edit button?

I don't believe you can change from a business account back to a private account but you can open a new private account.

Can't be done --- you will need a new personal account to sell your own unwanted private items.

I concur with the reply from lucy_farmer, have you selected any listing upgrades, i.e 2nd Category etc.

[lucy_farmer]

Ah... I was wrong... I made the mistake of *not* looking at his account first 🙁

OP is a business account; as such doesn't have to deal with all the carp....  🐟 = 💩!

[thenerdexchange]

Sure, OP will just have to deal with:

- Private sellers undercutting them
- Extortionate fees (still higher than private sellers)
- Having to use eBay's advertising to stand a chance of competing (and surrendering the majority of their profit margin to eBay)
- Having to pay to list the same items they're getting undercut on, while the people undercutting them can list those for free

[lucy_farmer]

Ok , so you think ebay is too difficult to sell on as a business.

Many private sellers think it's too difficult to sell on now as private sellers.

Perhaps we should all just go somewhere else.

Or perhaps we should just admit nothing is ever going to please everybody all the time, and we all have hurdles to get over.

(p.s. if you think I'm in any way in favour of sellers undercutting businesses by pulling a fast one and pretending to be private  sellers, I suggest you read some of my other posts)
