Revising prices with Buyer Protection Fee now implemented

[pinkychukkles]

Morning, I'm a private seller starting to sell off my record collection. Now that the BPF has been implemented, all the BIN prices that display to buyers are showing as odd amounts rather than the round pound amounts they were previously.

I've amended a couple individually but it's a bit of a pain because you can't input a figure that includes the BPF that you want to be the one that shows to buyers.

Whilst I've only got around 60ish listings at the moment, it would really help to be able to bulk edit the prices to figures that included the BPF so the totals would be what the buyers see but that isn't possible as things stand? Is anyone aware of any movements from eBay that this could change? Thanks.

This morning I had more than the usual level  of satisfaction deleting 4 postcards that were listed on Ebay but which sold on another platform.

Its the little things in life that give most pleasure.

I'm sorry to hear about the situation that private sellers are experiencing.  You are right about the fees that continue and if ebay had shown the fee separately from the item price it would have been more clear to the buyer.  I hope private buyers get a better deal than this as in the past I have also sold here.  It would be a shame to lose the marketplace because of a change in policy by ebay.

Hi - First time I've used the Community.  I think the Buyer Proection Fee should be optional for the Buyer. As a Private Seller  I have not sold anything since this has been implemented and wonder if the fee is putting the Buyers off.

Yes indeed. Sales for me are 90% less for me now. Ebay for private sales,
especially low value items is a waste of time.
