question about .99 cents listings

[katerinaart]

i'm confused about .99 cents listings do we get charged for the listing? or are they free? a friend told me it was free but i still get charged .10 insertion fee for it -- My Ebay Store http://stores.ebay.com/katerinaart My Website: http://www.katerinaart.com

It's because you have a store. People with stores are still charged 10¢ insertion fee, but have lower final value fees. http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/news/FeeUpdate2010.html#chart -- Kathy -- Edited by poozybear at 07/24/2010 8:55 AM PDT

I miss my store...and wish I hadn't been forced to close it. Wonder if anyone else misses theirs? For a while there it was a real asset having a store. Oh well, changes and more changes.

I miss having a store. I closed mine after I stopped selling my decals, but I liked having it. I can't see any real advantage to having one now, though, unless you sell a lot of high dollar items. For small stuff, it's just not worth it. -- Kathy

I miss mine too. But I refuse to pay $40 a month vs the $16 I was paying! Sue

well that just sucks,i mean cant they give store sellers a break?..lol.. it's bad enough paying the store fees etc... -- My Ebay Store http://stores.ebay.com/katerinaart My Website: http://www.katerinaart.com

I totally agree. Considering that store sellers pay such a high monthly fee, they should get the same break on the 99¢ listings. Ebay's excuse explanation is that the final value fees are lower, but only .25% lower. Unless you sell a $500 item, that's just not enough to make a difference. -- Kathy

you're so right kathy, i think pretty soon i will be putting a lock to my store too, and focus on my artfire.com one at least over there they are NO fees wish more customers who are interested in artists work follow and buy from their websites especially if they already have a good ebay and from other places feedback. I wouldn't mind paying the 15.00 every month but my fees have topped 50.00-it's ridiculous. -- My Ebay Store http://stores.ebay.com/katerinaart My Website: http://www.katerinaart.com
