Comments on: eBay lowers listing fees

In response to slowed growth, the company lowers listing and other fees.

Finally

I haven't sold anything on ebay since all of the ridiculous price increases.

Support needs to be improved also. You would think that with the price increase you would see better support.

Question

What are the fee differences? I've been turned off by some other things that eBay has done but I'm curious of the fee changes.

She must be stepping off at the right time. That's a long time for CEOs these days. I wonder how well the company would have done with someone else at the helm for the last 10 years.

commission fees offset savings

I did a quick check on the low end - and while the listing fees are
going down, the higher commission is so much higher (first $25 is
now 8.75% commission instead of 5.25% - a whopping 66%
increase) that while your risk is down for listing - your revenue is
down if your item sells. Hardly the "value" "rewards" and "great
customer service" they're using to describe the change in their
email to sellers.

Alternatives to eBay

Since the fvf increase I'm now looking for a good alternative to eBay such as eBid etc.

I found out more about ebid at http://www.ukebid.com

eBid has been running for 10 years and operates sites for 14 countries so like eBay it's a trusted and well established auction site and not a "Here today gone tomorrow" auction site.
