eBay fees going up

[beej12]

In the last year my net sales have gotten significantly lower due to increased eBay fees. Has anyone else experienced this?

Everyone who sells on Ebay has experienced it. It actually has not gone up that much. It is just now the fees include the tax and shipping (total sale). The only exception is if you sell heavy items, it is almost not worth it anymore with the fees and postage cost.

Thank you

@beej12   to be successful in any business relationship, one needs to stay on top of policies and announcements by 'reading' them as they come out

Thank you

No, I haven't because the fee's haven't gone up. Are you sure your on the right platform community board?

Check your penalty fees.  Are you "below standard" which is an old antiquated stale way for EB to charge more fees.

[liawrig.nq8rdwqa3]

OP should check his penalty fees which can eat into revenue.  It's a made-up excuse to get more money.  EB is the site of last resort and so many of us are forced to use it (aside from flea markets).

All of your listings are in the Jewelry category, where the FVF rate was increased from 12.9% to 15.0% in September.

The buyer's shipping payment has been included in the FVF calculation since 2011.

To the best of my knowledge, no increase in fees in the last year.

And most sellers, large and small, recognize that any increase in the cost of selling anywhere will mean they need to adjust their prices accordingly.

In September 2022, the FVF rate for Jewelry & watches went up to 15% for non-stores (such as the OP) and  to 13% for Stores at or above the Basic level.  All of OP's listings are in that category.
