Lower fixed price fees for ebay sellers! Finally!!!

Tweet

I've been selling on ebay for years and couldn't believe it when I read this this morning! I've been listing a lot less lately just because of the high fees and I say it's about time: ****************************************** eBay will reduce the fees it charges to sellers to list fixed-price items, the online auctioneer is set to announce Wednesday. The move, which will take effect September 16, is intended to help eBay compete better with online retail rivals such as Amazon.com, as well as reduce its dependency on auctions. Under the new pricing plan, sellers who offer fixed-price items in eBay's "Buy It Now" format will pay only 35 cents to list an item for 30 days, a 70 percent reduction in upfront fees. The online auctioneer is also expected to announce that most customers will no longer be allowed to pay by check or cash--only a credit card or eBay's PayPal payment service will be accepted to complete transactions, according to an article in The New York Times. eBay also plans to launch a revamped search engine to give buyers looking for a specific item options to buy at a fixed price or via auction, according to a Reuters story. If you sell on ebay will this change the way you have been listing? If you don't sell will you think about trying it now? http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10020839-93.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20
