WOW - just WOW!
Mod - Update 30 Apr: Delayed from Apr 28 to May 12. Postage changes delayed from May 1 to June 1:
What’s coming, starting 12 May
We're making it free to sell on eBay.com.au for Australia-based sellers with up to $25,000 in sales annually. If you're eligible, you'll no longer pay transaction fees when you sell across all categories.
Your buyers will benefit from Buyer Protection, which includes risk monitoring, fraud detection, secure transactions and new 24/7 customer support. For sellers without a Pro subscription, a Buyer Protection fee will be added to their item price, paid for by the buyer. Buyers will see an all-in price as they browse on eBay so there are no surprises at checkout.
Store subscriptions will become Pro subscriptions and include exclusive features to help sellers scale their business. There are no changes to current subscription or transaction fees. Free selling is not available to sellers with a Pro subscription.
We’re introducing a new Pro Starter plan as the default selling experience for sellers who sell higher volumes and want more flexibility and control. Sellers may be placed on a Pro Starter plan from 12 May due to their sales volume or use of advanced features. If you are placed on the Pro Starter plan due to your use of advanced selling features, you'll be able to cancel your Pro Starter plan effective immediately until 1 June. After this date, any cancellation will become effective on the first of the following month.
Some selling tools like volume pricing, API and third party integrations will be exclusive to sellers with a Pro Basic plan or above. Compare Pro plans and their benefits.What’s coming on 1 June
For sellers without a Pro subscription:To simplify shipping and provide a consistent, tracked and protected experience, you will need to buy a label on eBay to send most items. We know one size doesn’t fit all. See how it works, including when exemptions may apply. You'll have access to discounted rates and printer-free options.
Your payouts will be available on demand so you can request payouts to your bank account at any time.
Advanced selling features such as multi-quantity listings, listings with variations and bulk listing tools will become exclusive to sellers with a Pro subscription.What this means for you
We’ll send you an email on 12 May to confirm your selling experience and explain how you can adjust your plan, including cancelling your Pro plan if you are eligible for free selling. If you choose to cancel, you will lose access to features available to Pro sellers.
How is the Buyer Protection fee calculated?
The Buyer Protection fee will be calculated as:
- A flat fee of AU $0.30 per item
- 8% of the item price up to AU $20
- 6% of any portion of the item price from AU $20 to AU $500
- 4% of any portion of the item price from AU $500 to AU $5,000
There’s also a cap on the total fee amount that the buyer will pay. Any portion of the item price over AU $5,000 won’t incur any additional fees. The Buyer Protection fee is always inclusive of GST.
When creating your listings, you have the option to select international postage to reach more buyers. When the item is sold to a buyer outside of Australia, we charge an international fee calculated on the total amount of the sale.
Who would've thought. Ebay finally woke up! Get your items ready folks!!
