eBay: Final Value Fees on Shipping?

[ReimerFan]

I used to love ebay, when they removed seller neutral / negative feedback that was the beginning of the end. Damn you Meg! I saw this coming, they have not charge you fees for pretty much everything you do on the site now. Although at least it gets rid of the people who sell a $100 item for .99 cents and $99 shipping.

I really really wish there was a better site out there that had half the hits ebay gets. One day, one day...

I hate eBay so much. Everything they do is against the seller and for the buyer.

they did it because people were selling items for 1¢ and charging the actual price as "shipping" and skirting the fees they should have been paying. Those are the people you should be upset with.

lol just another reason why I hate ebay , really what gives them the right to ask for a percentage of the shipping cost yet they can regulate the amount you can charge , I cant wait until SCf gets their site up and running , and/or other auctions sites take all of ebays buisness ,greedy people lol , if ya ask me this is illegal and going to far , who is gonna wanna sell their items and give most of the money to ebay and paypal , noone lol , what all the sellers should do is strike back and stand against ebay , because without the public selling and buying ebay is nothing

how is it illegal? I don't disagree that it stinks as a seller, but it's the cost of having all of the benefits that ebay provides. If any other site had the traffic and exposure that eBay does there would be a comparable alternative.

If your total fee is 15%, that's a far cry from "giving all of your money to ebay"

I agree it was something that had to be done since sellers were trying to sheap the fee system. On one hand 9% for the FVF plus the 9% for the shipping charge isn't too bad, on the other hand you really cant' make any money unless you seller mid to high end cards on there.

Donohoe was in charge when they decided to gas the sellers feedback and make it worthless. Meg as gone.

I thought it was Megs outgoing last change. You are probably right though Meg turned it from a great idea to a money maker then Donohoe killed it good

I just finished a two-weekend selling spree, eBay charged me $749 and change. On the other hand, how the heck else was I gonna get rid of 1,500 cards in that amount of time? The fees are Too Damn High, but you get what you pay for................

True. You get what you pay for plus you save money on USPS shipping if you use their labels.
