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.....

I will tell you what has happened they want to fleece business sellers to support SELL FREE ON EBAY people have lost confidence in the platform 

We have ceased trading today 19th April 2025 on eBay.

Yet again a buyer purchased an item fraudulently attempted to return it as item not as described Thinking as some ebayers do we would just refund him when we called him out he said in a message on eBay  I quote (THE ITEM IS GREAT I MIGHT ORDER ANOTHER ONE) over my dead body he will.

Having contacted eBay I was told because he had opened this case they could not do anything for 15 days ie they would be holding my funds for 15 days (disgusting).

In addition to this it goes on your service metrics and guess what you get charged for it by ebay.

Buyers on eBay are fully well aware if they want to return an item FREE OF CHARGE they just use the narrative of item not as described and eBay tell you report them it won't go on your service metrics (IT DOES)

eBay is now full of scumbags and worse than that eBay are allowing it to happen they will not see one more penny from us we urge everyone to boycott them until they sort this TOXIC mess out.
