I have been selling on eBay for 27 years using the same strategy of "sell similar". However, over the past 10 days I've been told by eBay that when you are over your allotted amount (in my case 250 auctions style) and you list as a "sell similar" item that ultimately sells you are NOT entitled to the insertion fee credit. Like many of us I list most of my items as "sell similar". If I have a Native American Turquoise bracelet that sells and I come across a similar one with a red coral stone, different size and weight I always use the "sell similar" option but when the bracelet sells now I will not receive my insertion credit. Ebay needs to change their information page because it clearly states the following...
"Every month, you get up to 250 zero insertion fee listings, or more if you have an eBay Store. Learn more about how zero insertion fee listings work, including the terms and exclusions for those listings.
After you've used your zero insertion fee allowance, insertion fees are:
- Non-refundable if your item doesn't sell
They are simply lying to us!
