eBay has launched the new fees for UK sellers.
In an attempt to encourage more sellers to list items for sale eBay has lowered the ‘Insertion Fee’ based on the starting price of the item.
eBay.co.uk has also changed the ‘Final Value Fee’ with eBay’s final commission being taken on a sliding scale depending on the final sale value of the auction.
More information on eBay.co.uk’s new fees.
However, not all sellers are happy with the new fee structure and some sellers have formed an eBay boycott in an attempt to force eBay into re-evaluating it’s fee structure.
Only time will tell if the new eBay fees are a positive step to encourage more users, or whether the eBay seller strike has permanently damaged eBay with sellers turning to alternative auction sites like eBid or uBid in the future…
