Am I the only one who did not know ebay raised seller rates to 12 %

Was checking to see if I got my credit on selling fee for buyer who did not pay. I noticed some of my recent sales final value fee was wrong, Called and found out as of Sept. 15th that media sales are 12% including shipping fee. **bleep**. Includes all music ( not vinyl records) includes dvd's, all music not vinyl, and books. Am I the only seller unaware of this?  Anyone know WHY they chose these catagories ? Are there any others ? GREED !

Here's a link to the Fall Seller Update. It was announced the first week of August.

The poster above who referenced Amazon's fee increase is probably right about the reason why eBay fees took a hike in media categories.

I quit buying DVDs unless they are rare. I still have quite a few listed, but I sell 1 DVD to every 20 CD.

When people ask what I sell online and I tell them CD's, the first response is always "People still buy those?"
Yup, they sure do. More than anyone realizes.

Ryan Reynolds...nice. I was telling someone that this is one of his early roles and they were like "never heard of it".  Love Traylor Howard, too. Used to watch Monk when she was on it. The show also had Nathan Fillion, who is one of my all time favorites.

I am from the old school. I like the music I am listening to ,to be of high quality and complete. People do not

realise that with these streaming services and mp3's they are only receiving appx. 20 % from some sites of the

actual music that the artist created. I have had this discussion with my son. He says get with the times CD's are dead. I am glad so many people think so. I pick them up for cheap and sell them ! Also I tell him all I have to do is put it in my itunes library and I can listen to it on any digital device I have. (Ipod Classic) . As long as you choose to import the cd using Apple Lossless ( which is NOT the default setting ) Then you lose no quality of sound. Did you know that many of the 2017, 2018 new model cars don't even have a CD player built in. I guess we should all stock up on those portable Cd players because that is the only way you can play a CD in them. How thoughtless of the car manufactures. Older people with no Mp3 player buy new cars Too !

Wow, I haven't heard a reference to that show in ages. I think it was the second season where they dropped "and a pizza place" from the title.

 

I like DVDs too. Not everything I want to watch is available for streaming.
