$.20 fee to revise items??

[chattanoogadad]

I have been a seller for years on eBay and now all the sudden I am getting 0.20 insertion fees for revising items. I am simply adjusting pricing or adding notes. Anyone else seeing this before I take the time to call Ebay customer support?

That glitch has been reported.  Apparently it never shows up on the invoice.

Are you seeing it on your invoice or on the bottom of the item when you're revising?

The same thing happened to me this morning. I revised a shipping fee on one item and didn't notice the .20 fee until I completed the revision. I thought it happened because it was a toy. Then I tried to change a price on a clothing item, same thing. Then a car part discription revision, same thing. Something's up and I can't figure it out.

Sorry...my reply posted twice.

Wow! I hope you are mistaken somehow. This would be ludicrous. Please tell, are you doing these revisions in or out of a store? Thanks.

I do have a Ebay store. I haven’t gone back to review the invoices yet to see. Thanks for the replies.

Glitch, or BETA testing to bilk sellers even more? lol Nothing surprises me anymore with eBay.

I just tested on one of my items.  Got a message suggesting I lower the price, so figured this would be a good opportunity to do this test.  Raised the price instead, and was not charged anything for the edit.

I haven't seen it yet, but I think it is coming with the new rules. I hope not, but I am going to pull my items off if it happens.

I accidently hit a new selling fee page I don't think I was suppose to access. It is about revising bulk listings. There are going to be new seller's fees for adding new items to bulk listins. I cannot find it again, but I think it is coming.

Time for another test to see if this affects multi quantity listings when manually adjusting the quantity.

***  Nope.  Still not being charged.

I sometimes think the whole eBay system was designed by those guys who tried to invent  Chinese Morse Code.  You'l have to give that some thought to grasp that.

It's  20 cents and may just be another glitch. We all know 20 cents isn't an expressway to abject poverty. If eBay is doing this as a mater of policy I don't care, make it 50 cents. It's more important to me to clarify my listings for better buyer understanding than risk a complaint.

Don't let you buyers' expectations exceed your capabilities.  This is one of the most important lessons you need to keep in mind for success in any business.

Optional reading; Useless example of my personal experience;

I sold a set of 1100 Suzuki drag race engine case for $250 plus $50 shipping. The buyer wrote back saying there were a couple of stripped out bolt holes and a broken fin on the bottom I had not even looked for. What did I do, you don't ask? I refunded all of his money and told him to keep the cases. The striped thread could easily repaired with threaded inserts and the broken fin had you bearing on performance and didn't show. It was far more important for me to maintain my reputation than the the money. 

Yeah, you might have to kiss a frog or two in life to maintain a balance of pride and humility.

Once again, this information is incorrect as you have misinterpreted the Seller Update. There will be some store fee changes and a small insertion fee increase for non-store owners, but there are no "new" fees or "bulk listing" fees.
