Fees....

[dibs_2474]

Will these changes reduce the fees ebay are **bleep** us for also?  I remember ebay stating that sellers will save on fees once paypal was gone.  Hahaaaaa!!!!  What a lie that was.  Ebay WAS charging 10% and paypal WAS charging 2.9% + .30 for a grand total of 12.9% + .30.  NOW, ebay is charging 14.35% + .30 for a grand total of 14.35% + .30.  Where is the savings you said?

Claimed that we'd be paying the same in fees or be paying less than before. Just got a reminder message from eBay today reiterating the lies.

To be fair to eBay, they did not lie by saying that all sellers would save on fees. They only lied by saying that most sellers would save on fees 🙂

The examples they used to support this argument were unrealistic, because the hypothetical sellers they showed had 30-40% of their sales going to States with no sales tax. But the five States in the USA with no sales tax only represent 2.51% of the U.S. population. 

NOW, ebay is charging 14.35% + .30 for a grand total of 14.35% + .30

14.55% is only in a few categories. Most categories are 12.55%.
