Has anyone calculated the cost difference with the new fee increase?

[liawri-75]

Just curious.  With the new fee hike, has anyone figured out how much an (%) increase it will cost?  Did you do a comparison chart between old fees and new fees and the difference that you will have to charge your customers?

The only increase is the per transaction fee it is 40 cents per transaction for orders of $10.00 or more, 30 cents for transactions less than $10.00. Final value fees haven't changed. 
Per Order fee is changing

     That is the only increase that I am aware of and a $.10 increase would represent different percentage increase depending on the total cost of the item sold. In most cases that is going to be trivial. For example on a $10 item the % increase would be .01% and on a $100 item .001%.

A $0.10 increase on a $10 order is 1%.  For $100, the increase is 0.1%.

I expect it to be on the order of a couple hundred dollars at most for us over an entire year.  Barely a blip in our finances.  For smaller sellers, it'll obviously be less, and let's face it, bigger sellers aren't usually coming here to the boards.

[soh.maryl]

Good advice; however, it's more like 40 cents.

@soh.maryl 

The increase is 10 cents. 

[wastingtime101]

To cover the ten cent per transaction increase @liawri-75 , factoring in a general (most categories) 13.25% final value fee, you would need to increase item cost by twelve cents.

If you typically sell multiple items in a single transaction, say your average is two items per transaction, then you can cover the increase with a six cent increase on your item cost.

[soh.maryl]

Yes, you are correct.  Sorry, I was not paying attention when typing.  

[ebooksdiva]

No worries 😉

     Thank you for the correction. Heavy fingers on the calculator buttons this morning or not enough coffee.

I don't increase my prices when my costs go up 10 cents. But I do keep track of the increase and when cumulatively my COGS go up (think along the lines of 10 c eBay fee, 40 c packing material, 30 c shipping, $1.00 inventory acquisition, etc), and I hit a certain percent increase in relation to the item, then I apply an increase to my buyer-facing prices.

If you literally want this one to be a non-issue, then increase all your shipping prices by 12 cents.
