A recent email inviting me to upgrade my shop to Anchor would seem to say that substantial free listings will also be available on .com:
‘From May, eBay Top-rated sellers with an Anchor Shop subscription can list the first 2,500 fixed price listings (30-day and Good ‘Til Cancelled) each month on eBay.com at no additional cost as well’
Has anyone heard anything more about the tracked international shipping ebay is supposed to be offering as I registered my interest via the link that was on here a while back and have heard nothing since?
I bet their video doesn’t point out you get no FVF discount on any overseas sales.
Check this page:

…on Becoming a TRS. Note the yellow box.
And yet on the seller dashboard page for USA, it proudly states I am TRS in USA and the table below shows all my listings qualified, re. uploaded tracking, returns, etc. However, the table at the bottom of the page which shows which listings qualify for TRS FVF discount just contains big fat zeros.
I took this up with eBay CS and they confirmed this is indeed the case. I asked what the point of that table is as it can only ever contain zeros, and they agreed it is misleading.
It’s time they sorted this out and removed that table as it gives the impression you could qualify (i.e. if you did something different) but the truth is that you can’t.
No wonder they are encouraging sellers to sell overseas – it means they don’t have to discount the fees on those sales.
If sellers are considering expanding their horizons in this way, I suggest they consider the ‘no discount on FVF’ situation before doing so.
There is always a benefit for ebay in anything they promote as being “good” for sellers.
What about when the new TRS 15% “free shipping” discount comes in. Any international sales final value fee discount then?
