As a ( now very seldom ) private seller, I agree with everyone else on here. Taking nigh-on £7 for my last sale totalling £50 isn't enough already? It was collected by a local guy,  so on hindsight I could've easily have sold it on FB Marketplace...for free. Are Facebook faced with these claimed regulatory costs?

As a ( now far less frequent ) buyer, you have turned eBay into a shoddy mess. Trying to navigate past all the relentless piles of Chinese tat is a time consuming task I rarely attempt now.  This additional fee will only serve to decrease listings from sellers listing better quality items and turn eBay into another Temu.
