New buyer fees confused ?

[jactac7]

Please could someone explain in simple terms how this new buyer fee thing works.

I'm a private seller who lists the usual used clothes, plus the odd bits & bobs that are no longer required or needed.

When this new buyer fee thing was announced I read the info that ebay released, and after reading it my take was that, if I list something for say  £2 as a bid or buy it now, ebay would then add their fees to that amount and the buyer would see the increased amount on the listing, but all my listings are still showing the same amount that I listed them for ?

Theres no added fees showing on the amount, at least not that I can see ?

I've asked a friend to look at my listings to see if they can see something different but apparently they are seeing what I'm seeing, the original amounts with no added fees ?

They've even clicked on one of my items to buy but the total amount stayed the same ?

Am I looking at this all wrong or just not getting it.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

It's ridiculous, it's made my shop look silly when I want the price to look like a bargain, eg. with a 00 or a clean 50 or a 99 at the end.

Ebay, what are you doing???

seems ebay has finally lost the plot,i agree small price items just dont make sense now iv stopped listing anything under £10 . i havnt sold anything for awhile anyway  since stupid buyers fee ,prices just look weird and higher /plus with tracked post the buyers already fully covered ? . protection racket.!

     iv taken to clicking on revise item see how much the fee is then reducing my price by a bit less than that  then buyer sees price i originally wanted to list at ,,CRAZY what a faff.
