TVPast Forums - More eBay fees adjustments.

From what I saw on the news. It looks as though eBay is down 30 percent since raising their fees. [88][88]

This is the email I received from them.

We're taking steps to give sellers the most dynamic marketplace on the Internet: reduced upfront cost, optimized exposure, and a more consistent buyer experience to drive more sales.

1. Reduced upfront fees for Fixed Price:
List multi-quantity items up to 30 days for just 35¢
We're lowering the upfront cost of selling in Fixed Price with a great new package of benefits:

* New 35¢ Insertion Fee, regardless of asking price or item quantity
* NEW 30-day duration at no extra cost with automatic renewal option to boost efficiency
* Adjusted Final Value Fees - reduced in some categories
* Boost in exposure based on listings' recent sales

This is the perfect opportunity to list more inventory in Fixed Price at a low upfront cost--including moving your best Stores inventory to full exposure on eBay.

Plus, we're holding the line on current fees for auction-style listings. When you
start pricing low, and with ending-soonest exposure, auction-style listings are still
the best deal on eBay.
2. Driving more sales with a more consistent buyer experience
We're taking other steps to ensure buyers keep coming back to eBay:

* Limits on shipping and handling charges in some categories
* Big seller rewards for free shipping, including free subtitle, a boost in search results, and double PowerSeller fee discounts
* No more checks and money orders
* New seller standards: Minimum 4.3 on all DSRs

3. More relevant search results to drive more sales: We're optimizing Best Match to surface the inventory most relevant to each buyer and show the best of Auction-style and Fixed Price.
