    Ebay increased their final valuation fee to almost 10% recently.

    • dy4me on 09/12/2013 - 13:16

      its the Ebay GST. I remember when it was 2.9%

      I will not list on Ebay for this very reason. 10% is a lot of money

        I will not list on Ebay for this very reason. 10% is a lot of money

        Where do you list instead? Gumtree?

        • wbeer on 09/12/2013 - 13:30

          Gumtree is owned by eBay - so enjoy it while its free… for now

          Do you get many "I will buy it from you but I am currently out at sea but if you send it to this address my friend will get it for me, I will send you money via paypal if you agree".

        • itsfree on 09/12/2013 - 13:47

          There is nothing enjoyable about Gumtree.

          Oh yeah. I also get more lowballers than serious buyers. And most of the inquirers seem to have an IQ lower than the national average.

        eBay is monopolistic and neither exists for the buyer or seller but rather their Swiss bank account

    • aaronaldo on 09/12/2013 - 13:22

      Wow, didn't realise it's so high now. Does this include the Paypal fee as well?

      • Turd on 09/12/2013 - 13:26
        +1

        no. 30cents + 3.4%

        • Trance N Dance on 09/12/2013 - 13:31
          +3

          2.4% + 30cents for payments originating in Oz and 3.4% for payments originating from outside of Oz to be more precise plus whatever fixed fee it is for that currency.

        • Power Penguin on 09/12/2013 - 13:55

          is that for the person sending or receiving money?

        • itsfree on 09/12/2013 - 14:19
          +2

          Receiving. It's like a merchant fee.

      ANOTHER INCREASE? AGAIN

      • davidl2 on 09/12/2013 - 17:30

        it's been months, a lot of sellers did not even realise the increase and think they still paying the old fees….sad & stupid!

        • bargin424 on 09/12/2013 - 20:16

          Do you know the exact value? last I check it was 7.9% of final fees.

        • davidl2 on 09/12/2013 - 20:25

          http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/sell/fees.html

          final value fees for non-store seller = 9.9%

          how greedy eBay! imagine selling a $50 item,
          eBay wants it $5 from you + the PayPal fees!
          also the seller risk of accepting PayPal!

    • berger on 09/12/2013 - 23:02

      People complain about the 9.9% fees, Hell i do too, I sell a number of large value items every month, today I listed 5 items, $1400, $2200, $700, $100 & $600.. Its a combined total of around $5000. I am confident in getting those prices, and I know if I listed on gumtree, I'd be lucky to get $3500-$4k(I'm not going to start with the time wasters there). I may pay $550 or so in fees, but at the end of the day I'm making a larger profit.

      We argue that eBay does nothing for us. But they do, they offer a global selling platform, with a huge audience. eBay is more professional, and you build up your reputation there, which higher feedback = trusted seller.

      As for this deal, I already get free listings? I list around 10 items a month, And only pay final value fee.

    targeted offer - i cant sign up and the reason was its by invitation only.

  • Turd on 09/12/2013 - 13:18

    Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

  • damnair on 09/12/2013 - 13:21

    It's an invitation only offer so doesn't work unless they invited you

  • itsfree on 09/12/2013 - 13:21

    I can also confirm that it is invitation only.

  • Claggs on 09/12/2013 - 13:24

    I received the email for a different eBay account, and it worked fine for me.
    Maybe they're still in the process of sending them?

  • fomal on 09/12/2013 - 13:34

    My friend sold iphone 5s on the ebay and didnt need to pay the final value fee. anyone know why?

    • Turd on 09/12/2013 - 13:36
      +1

      They entered a fake credit card and/or didnt pay the final $50 or so when they got billed and did a runner?

      Just my guess.

    • wbeer on 09/12/2013 - 13:36

      the fee is paid monthly, maybe he/she hasnt been billed yet.

  • A3Australia on 09/12/2013 - 13:36

    I understand that even the heading of the linked page states "Invitation only: 200 free listings".

    However, I have not received any invitation from eBay, and I found that if I first logged-in to my eBay account BEFORE clicking the "Accept Offer" button, I then received the following "Promotions" page and message:-

    You've accepted the offer "200 Free Listings!!".

    No idea why eBay used two exclamation marks and a quotation mark.

    • neil on 09/12/2013 - 13:40

      Nope, no dice.

      Looks like it's only some accounts.

      Same here, worked for me despite not receiving an email.

        Not for me even though I was already logged in

    Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

  • 13LCR13 on 09/12/2013 - 13:51

    Can i just clarify one detail?

    All my listings on eBay are free anyway.I have not paid insertion fees for a long time. Not sure if this is just on my account(private),same as some people only have a pay after delivery option with Paypal and others don't. This promotion will not wave the final sale fee!!!

    To be honest i can not see the deal or bargain here!

    • itsfree on 09/12/2013 - 13:58

      Non-Store Package subscribers receive the first 40 Fixed Price or Auction listings free every month.

      http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/sell/fees.html

    • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2013 - 13:59

      All standard accounts come with 40 free listings a month — or are you saying you get more than 40 free listings a month for free?

      Beyond 40 listings, insertion fees can be rather expensive. Relisting items also count towards that total.

      http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/sell/fees.html

      • davidl2 on 09/12/2013 - 17:33

        seller did not think of why eBay increase the Final Value fees for? :-P

        the FVF is so much greater than the listing/insertion fees.

    I got 10,000 free listing promo for my account.

    • crazyj on 09/12/2013 - 14:42

      Is there a link for the latest 10,000 free listing? Or is that something that wasn't posted on OZBargain?

  • wbeer on 09/12/2013 - 14:23
    +3

    Heads up,
    You might be better to actually buy a monthly subscription and get 'lower' Final-Value fees, especially if you're planning on listing 200 items a month.

      Not to mention one you have 30 days duration for your listing where as the free account max is 10 days.

  • thydzik on 09/12/2013 - 15:47

    "Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only. "

  • OzJD on 09/12/2013 - 16:11

    Worked for me, but I had the email anyway.

    to picky and choosy ebay - they want your $ and offer zero seller protection….makes you wonder why you bother half the time. a lot more sellable items are going straight to the bin.
    now they come along with this offer which is loaded with more conditions - maybe they should just make a list of what they would like you to sell instead.
