Yup, I really see how the increased vibrancy and increased sales correlate to the increased fees now that you explain it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of **** that absolutely drives me crazy about the people who do corporate messaging. They're serving up a **** sandwich and saying that's caviar like you're not going to notice they just handed you two pieces of bread that someone just crapped in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmpirate Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Let me see, sales are down. So, how do we increase sales to generate more revenue? I know, we'll increase our fees! Kind of like the government "stimulating the economy" by raising taxes. Great minds all think alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 New to me, eBay now offers immediate payment on Best Offer listings when the prospective buyer has selected a stored payment method and you accept the offer. Also, on 1/1 eBay GSP changed their name and eBay is handling the 30 day free returns. Not sure if they will send them back to the seller or just to Kentucky.

Pseudoty Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) I just sold another Bob Marley Exodus to Australia where it was not for sale, the going price USA is $350 before eBay fees and shipping, here is the break down: What your buyer paid Item subtotal $498.97 Shipping $0.00 GST* $49.90 Order total** $548.87 What you earned Order total $548.87 eBay collected from buyer GST*-$49.90 Selling costs Transaction fees -$66.41 Ad Fee Standard-$18.46 Order earnings $414.10 So even though they take their cut your profit is still a lot more.
