R.I.P eBay (UK) ------>> 19th Feb 2025

[yorkscollectables]

The introduction of the eBay Buyer Protection fee of 75p plus 4% of the value of goods,  effective from 19th February 2025 has effectively killed off eBay (UK).

Buyers have walked away and Private Sellers are now forced to drastically reduce their prices to try to compete with 'Business Sellers', who are not subject to the eBay Buyer Protection fees.

It's a great shame, and unless eBay's management team in San Jose, California see the error of their ways, and quickly, there will be nothing left to salvage from the wreckage !!

I am not really bothered to be honest, if i cannot wear it because i have increased in size (the usual reason) then it goes, the quicker the better.   I put them on and leave them there until i get fed up and then car boot them, now that really is practically a give away these days.   To be honest i just have a lot of time on my hands and i enjoy doing both e bay and car boot selling so its a win win for me.  Worked all my life to be in a position to be able to choose how i occupy my time and do not need any one else to decide whether i am wasting my time or not.....
