From 30th March 2010, there are some changes to fees for selling on eBay UK Motors:
Fee | Old | New |
---|---|---|
Add BIN to auction listing | £0.99 | £2.99 |
Reserve fee | £4.00 | £7.99 |
Classified ad | £12.99 | £14.99 |
Picture pack | £1.25 | Free |
All other fees aff_link("https://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/motorfees.html","remain as before","motorsfees","UK"); ?>
The aff_link("https://pages.ebay.co.uk/2010_motors_fees/","information on this","motorsfees","UK"); ?> seems to have been hidden away rather. Some Motors’ sellers say they’ve had an email about it, but there has been no AB post or similar official announcement, and in a thread on the PowerSeller board, James the eBay UK Community Manager said he had aff_link("https://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=1100288526&start=48","no idea and have not heard about any changes in motors pricing nor have seen any announcements to that effect","motorsfees","UK"); ?>. eBay might want to look again at their communication on this one.
I also question the wisdom of increasing the fee for reserves: NOTHING makes for shill bidding like reserve fees. Free pictures won’t make up for the bumps on the other fees either: I predict a few more eBay sellers will be trying out Autotrader, Gumtree and the like in coming weeks.
