New Fees calculation.

[selective_distribution]

OK, I understand that there are new fees applied, and I have just noted that an item I had listed at £9.99 is now listed at £11.11! The odd 11p makes it look a very unappealing price. I could list it at £10.99 and take the hit, but my question is .....do I now have to go through EVERY listing I have and adjust the price? What is the calculation in fees to do this? I guess I have to calculate the new fees in every new listing also.....is there a formula to calculate this? What a nightmare!......Thanks eBay!

When you create a listing, or edit one, when you enter the price you get a line appear above saying UK Buyers will pay a £*.** protection fee. so if you enter £10 in the price the protection fee will show £1.12. I don't think there is a way to set a price so it shows the buyer the price £10.99.

It looks like you are abusiness seller rather than a private seller, so you should probably switch to a business account tbh. You will no longer have to worry about these buyers fees being added to your listings and affecting your prices.

Thank you. I have not seen that yet. So it looks like I am correct that I will have to sit with a calculator on every listing trying to work out that the buyer sees a `sensible` price!

My back of a fag paper calculation says that if you list at £9,83 it should be £10.98.4 which would probably round up to £10.99.

I'm sure people will soon get used to their regular price settings, or just become a business seller and do away with the problem!

I just started a draft listing and put in the price £9.83 and the system told me the UK Buyer protection fee will be £1.12 so the total would be £10.95. So not quite £10.99 but still what I would consider a normal price rather than the £11.11 as the OP’s example.

"is there a formula to calculate this?"

The quick way to work back from buyer price to the price you should enter is:

1. Take off 72p (i.e. £10.99 - 0.72 = 10.27)

2. Then divide by 1.04 (10.27 / 1.04 = 9.87)

Bear in mind there are some amounts you cannot reach, like £13.99. I have tried.

Your choice is either £13.98 or £14.00. The extra penny causes an extra penny of fee to be added.

=SUM(K2-0.75)/1.04 where K2 is the listing price including buyer fees that you would like to see. I think in a spreadsheet that will get you back to the price you need to list at.

I haven't got any new fees yet (yay!) So I haven't been able to check it agrees with ebay. Let me know if it works.

This is really helpful, but please note the correct formula is actually =SUM(K2-0.72)/1.04 (tested and working)

Thanks for providing the formula, took me a while to manually adjust without that.
