eBay Buyer Protection & Fee Changes
eBay Buyer Protection & Fee Changes was just announced, actually finally confirmed the fee increase. The fee increase is set to go in effect March 30,2010. I just used the calculator eBay offers to calculate your new monthly fees. Based on the new fee structure I am actually going to see my fees increase about $1,500.00 more with a Store subscription.
I plan to list more variety on eBay but will a lower average fee. Instead of offering large ticket price items, I will try to stay around the $200.00 range.
Here is the link for the eBay fee calculator ebayinkblog.com
Currently, eBay is not my main source to generate sales, my webstore is doing well. I am going to introduce a few new lines of home goods to help increase variety and sales directly.
Aside from the fee changes, eBay is now offering Buyer Protection directly. This may be a good idea for buyers but it does not serve the seller. Ultimately if ebay will determine if the buyer deserves a full refund. If eBay decides on the buyers behalf they will fully refund the buyer but charge your account in full. Whether you like it or not. Below are sections from the New eBay Agreement – to view the entire Agreement you can click HERE.
take a look at this - Line 2 – Anyone that sells online knows that handling time/shipping is always an estimate unless you are selling items you plan to overnight. Again, eBay is good for exposure but no one should make it its only source for sales.
How do you feel of the Buyer Protection ebay is offering? Do you feel that it is protecting you as a seller?
