ebay - Free to Sell, by King and a Duck on Oct 27, 2024 9:16:27 GMT 1, It’s now free to sell on ebay. What does everyone think about that?
It used to be that you could lose hundreds when selling a print on there. Now it seems like a pretty good option. Safe transactions and good protection.
Do you think we’re likely to see in an increase in art sales on ebay?

They still charge the final value fee, all that seems to have changed is you now get 300 free listings rather than 100 a month.
A few people have mentioned "its free" to me, but every time i go and look, it says you will still pay a FVF. (if i am missing something here, i would be more than eleated to be wrong! i have a ton of stuff i would be more motivated to shift!)

I’m pretty sure private sellers are free but business accounts still pay a fee. I’ve sold a couple of bits on there since it came in and I received the full amount with no fees.

Is eBay still the same company as Paypal? Maybe they still make enough money from sales through the money transfer. Ebay and PayPal are separate now happened a good few years ago. And is it not the case that eBay have to report any sales over £1000 in a financial year to the inland revenue? Pretty sure either you or eBay have to declare it as income. |

ebay - Free to Sell, by its all about me on Oct 27, 2024 12:12:37 GMT 1, I've tried checking this on e-bay and can't seem to find any definite answer. So if you sell some artwork for, say, £1,000 will you actually receive £1,000? Seems too good to be true.
If that's correct, what are e-bay getting out of this?

If the seller receives the full amount and the buyer simply pays the asking price, how does e-bay make any money from the transaction? Business sellers still pay fees, there is advertising on the website, they now process their own payments (and now holding a balance) and make a commission from selling postage and operating their own logistics. There are plenty of income streams other than fees. |

There are plenty of income streams other than fees. Good points. But this new ruling must still be having an impact on their overall profit margins. Perhaps they hope it will attract more new customers but I think everybody already has an eBay account, don't they? |

So never got my head round this. But im pretty sure all they really did was add 200 free listings. |

"Free selling for UK-based private sellers.
It's now free for UK-based private sellers to sell on eBay (excluding motors: Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles listings). You won't pay final value fees or regulatory operating fees when your items sell.
Fees will apply if you list more than 300 items in a month, if you add optional upgrades to your listing, or if you deliver to an overseas address."

ebay - Free to Sell, by trapnel1 on Oct 28, 2024 10:57:32 GMT 1, Ebay have announced it themselves, very quietly and buried in an SEC filing. You can read it yourself - not totally sure what form the buyer fee will take. I have heard 8% mentioned, but will probably start gently with the potential to increase. They are giving with one hand and plan to take with another....

Although i guess "maybe" this new buyer fee doesnt apply to items bought from business sellers, that or they get double fees on those transactions.

Agree, great place to sell now, but not to buy.

Did they say how it was calculated? Is it a flat fee or a percentage figure?
