Nothing is selling?

Just endless watchers? 

I have even factored in the buyer protection fee to my items. Can’t sell anything, not even at rock bottom prices? 

I currently have a few items for sale and nothing? Not even an enquiry? 

People can’t be that broke? Seller protection has killed eBay?

What’s going on?

Very slow the last week not had a sale since last Friday. Been decent up to that point.

I'm sure the sales will come 🙏

Well said. Honestly could not have put it better myself.

This buyer protection fee is lose lose for everyone including eBay.

I ended up selling the item in question to a friend. I have another item for sale..  It’s  been listed for a few weeks now. Not a single message, nothing…

I took time to take close up pictures and a picture of the item on and working. I am not a business seller. I am just trying to sell something I don’t use. People are watching but not buying, not even when I send offers. 

The buyer protection fee ads about £15 to my item, so I am having to now factor that into the price. The item is 649 new and I have hardly used it.

I believe buyer protection is the reason why I can’t sell. Weather it will sell now I have factored that into the price remains to be seen. 

Ebay should remove this buyer protection fast, it’s killing the platform. I also buy records and to be honest I have now moved over to discogs because I am not paying a premium on each purchase.

Look at the solds on that it tells you everything. It could sell at your price but buyers aren’t falling over each other to pay the top end, I think many are watching hoping that you drop it to nearer £450. If you won’t do that, you’ll have to wait for the right buyer I’m sure they will come along.

Don’t forget you’re not paying any eBay fees. Even £15 BPF is absolutely nothing on a sale like that but your pricing it like a business seller with higher fees. I don’t blame you really but eBay have made it cheaper for private sellers to sell and the buyers aren’t seeing the benefit.

The price reduction worked then 👍

buyer protection fee is scam buddy I know it, you know it, they know it. Before buy protection and with fees gone it was all good. Now u have to factor that in. My buyer paid 15 extra for what exactly? Nothing..
