eBay, please revisit the $0.30/transaction selling cost.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's past time for eBay to look at their transaction fees, specifically the $0.30 per transaction fee.
Usually when people complain about selling fees, it's the 13% or whatever that get people upset. But some of us are trying to grind out low-price cards, and the $0.30 is the real killer. I sell low-end cards for $0.99 each with $0.49 shipping. With my shipping cost at $0.63, I'm already down to $0.85 before the fees hit.
Obviously the best thing for me is for buyers to get multiple cards per transaction. However, that's getting even harder to do because eBay is moving in the direction of making buyers pay for each item immediately. In some cases, it's not possible for buyers to stack multiple cards into one transaction. Often this means I have to manually give a combined shipping discount, even though I'm still on the hook for multiple $0.30 selling fees.
eBay, you are able to combine orders when I am printing shipping labels. How about cutting us a break, and charging the $0.30 just once per combined order at the same time? @community_team
