OK, yesterday i receive TWO, i repeat TWO identical emails (one after another, looks like someone is reading here) for the "WINTER UPDATE", that says fees will be increased from 12.9 to 13.25 FROM 1 april, i REPEAT 1ST OF APRIL 2023!

IT`s a LIE, BIG LIE, because from 15 february, i see they are already charging 13.25% as fee.

So, you guys tell me how honest is ebay.

Obviously you were not paying attention.

The winter update was posted on Feb 1

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Announcements/Your-2023-Winter-Seller-Update-is-here/ba-p/33527137

and it specifically says

Starting February 15, 2023, final value fees will increase in some categories. The maximum increase any category will see is 0.35%. Some categories will remain unchanged, including Jewelry & Watches and Women’s Bags & Handbags.

And for those, who will tell me , that i`m wrong or i`m in a fantasy, here is a clue.

OK, the fee totals look accurate. Please read the latest seller update again. I believe you have misquoted the dates of the beginning of the new fee changes.

Good luck!

On .com the fees increased on Feb 15th. (link)

On .co.uk fees increased March 2nd and store fees are scheduled to increase April 1st. Fees on .co.uk are different from those on .com. (link)

Sounds like perhaps you received fake/spam email. Don't click on the links in the emails. Instead go to your eBay messages folder and check to see if the same messages are found there @dj-doggy.

Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm.

You are in Bulgaria, the notification you received was probably for Euro zone dates (listing on .de, .es, .it etc). I know that April 1st was the increase date for Canada, pretty sure only .com had the early rate increase.

Thing is, you are listing on eBay.com so .com rules and policies apply.
