As a jewellery seller on eBay can you explain why the fees in this category are going up and so much higher than other platforms and other categories on eBay?

 

I've seen a decline in jewellery traffic on eBay when with same stock I'm seeing expansion and sales elsewhere. 

 

I'm finding the cost of eBay sales was already high.  On EBay there is a necessity to have more promotions, use promoted listings and drive my own traffic to maintain reasonable sales.  As a result, the profit per sale is a few percent less on eBay than its nearest competitor.

 

What are you offering in return for the extra fee? 

Are you going to review the jewellery policy and have something relevant (LEGAL) for the UK and UK legislation?

Please tell me there is some exciting news about investment in the category to offset and justify this increase.

Hi @ojewellery ,

I understand any increase in fees is not going to be welcome news. We made alot of progress in 2022 including launching video enhancements, increasing the number of free photos for your listings, adding new features in Shops to attract buyers and increase traffic, enhancing the messaging experience to make communications with buyers and improvements to eBay fulfilment by Orange Connex to name just a few. We will continue to make investments to improve the experience as we strive to make eBay the most vibrant and trusted marketplace for both buyers and sellers.

Thank you,

Kat
