New Changes Also Come With New Fees
I was pretty stoked about the media items listing fee lowering until I looked a little deeper into the new policies. The media items will have amazing new listing fees- but they will also have amazing new commission fees.
Remember yesterday when I mentioned that they are likely trying to become competitive with Amazon? It looks like they are. Amazon charges a 15 percent commission, and now eBay charges the same. That’s right- media items will now have a 15 percent final value fee on items up to $50. In theory that does make them more competitive with Amazon- but Amazon also has no listing fee when you are a ProMerchant subscriber, and every serious Amazon seller is one.
That means that it is still slightly more expensive to sell on eBay, though being able to make your own shipping and selling terms is extremely attractive. The slightly higher price may not be a deterrent at all if sellers charge a small handling fee that takes care of the listing fee.
