Spring Seller Update

Screen Shot 2017-02-28 at 8.40.43 PM.png

So with the new updates for stores

would it have killed you to give us free BINs on auctions and free scheduling? You know - the benefits NON paying listers already get for nothing.

Why fuss moan and groan about the upcoming changes? Be proactive, not reactive!

All of these posts are so negative! Reality check is needed, ebay does not owe anyone anything at all! It is and has not ever been Freebay. Take advantage of the freebies they do give here and there and be grateful. Most of us know it is the cost of ...

Bitter Pill

The 2017 SSU isn't disruptive inasmuch as I don't have to scramble to conform to new listing structure requirements, but it is a bitter pill. Those sellers who commit to eBay with paid store subscription are seeing a price hike. Those sellers who pro...

So this is a 12.75% increase in fees? Did I get that right?

As TRS I will be getting a 12.75 increase in fees. Is that correct?20% to 10% discount = a 12.5% increase plus the .15% in fees

Just wondering how many drinks it took...

...before you could actually say "sellers asked for" a halved discount, more stringent shipping metrics AND higher FVFs with a straight face?

Resolved! Sellers Please Stand Up for your Rights Ebay is Hurting our Bottom Line Again!

I have been an ebay seller for years and this is just plain CORPORATE GREED. I can not tell you how ashamed I am of what they are doing to us, the sellers. Ebay now reports your end of the years totals to the government if over a certain amount they ...

New changes for top rated sellers

Just how is the changes to the top rated sellers program helping top rated sellers by cutting in half the 20% discount?? Or by raising the final value fees?? It is not helping anyone except eBay! It's **bleep**! eBay makes enough money already, it do...

Resolved! Change to 95% shipping

I've sold on ebay for quite a few years. I agree with some posts that ebay is one of the "tools" I use in my sales. I've rolled with all the previous updates and continue to make money on ebay. BUT, as a small seller there are 2 changes I question an...

Resolved! Hope Hiring More CS Reps Was Part Of The Update

There gonna need some more staffing at the CS call center. I dont know if its just me, but im a TRS seller and while my late shipment rate is below 3% my uploaded tracking on time shipping metric hovers around 94 to to 95 percent. I dont ship anythin...

Your thoughts on why TRS discount is going away?

We all know that 10% is just not really worth the hoop jumping here, so, what i want to know is why ebay is doing this?Is it just pure greed?Is ebay struggling financially?Who's idea was this?Will there be a REAL revolt here?

Blatant MONEY GRAB by Ebay - why constantly screw your sellers???

REDUCING discount from 20% to 10%, INCREASING tracking requirement from 90% to 95%, INCREASING final value fees...but on the brightside we get a $30 quartely credit for "promoted listings" WHICH I HAVE ZERO USE FOR. I've been with Ebay for 15 years.....

2017 Spring Seller Update

I really tried to hold out, because I've been with Ebay almost 20 years and didn't want to explore other options, but you're just "punished" too much for not being perfect as a seller here. I went from TOP RATED to BELOW STANDARD virtually overnight,...
