insertion fees through the roof why???

I've been with ebay since 2006 now getting charged on all 900 items .35 cents!!! I'm super mad ready to sell on another site if it doesn't get fixed!

@neat528,

 

It looks like all of your listings are fixed price, which means good til cancelled; they relist every month until they are sold. You don't have a store, so you get up to 250 listings/relistings each month with free insertion fees. If you have more than that, either new listings or old items relisting (which they do once a month), then you are charged $0.35 each.

It's been this way for many years now, sorry if you haven't noticed this before now.

A $25 mo Store will give you 1,000 free listings. 

 

Don't get/have a store will cost you $157 a month in listing 450 items OVER the free 250 you get.

 

A 'better store' for $60 a month can also save you 1% on Final Value Fees (depending on category you sell in) which if you sold $10000 a month, that would save you $100 more...

Since you don't have a store, you only get 250 free a month.

Anything over that, you have to pay.

With that many listings, you should think about subscribing to a store.

Have a great day.

Is this the first month you've had that many listings?

To all the posters above: there's a known Ebay glitch that if a seller revises listings with zero insertions left, the system charges you for each revised listing as though it was newly listed.

I had to get a refund credit this month.
