I would like to say that selling on ebay gets harder and harder,especially with the ever increasing fees.

A few tricks to help ebay sellers remember

First, you must be aware of eBay’s™ policies.

Second, you need to insure that you do not violate these policies.

And third, you must monitor your competition to insure that they too are not violating eBay’s™ policies.

You have to understand that eBay wants you to purchase every possible option because that is where they make their money.

Don’t use the list in second category if your profit potential is not there to support it, any additional images or upgrades doubles your fees so don’t use it.

Always use the second chance offer , when you have sold a item and there were other bidders ebay will send them a email giving them a second chance offer so if it sells to one of these other bidders you win. If they do not purchase there are no listing fees , it is a way of getting free listings on ebay.

There is also a little know tool you can use to evaluate your products selling potential. Example: If you are selling a Fujifilm Finepix A700 Go to advanced search ,enter the phrase of the item you are selling and select Completed listings only , now remember this sometimes you can select advanced search and ebay does not show you the complete advanced search.

So do a regular search ,wait for the results then select advanced search again and your phrase will automaticly be included.

Now you can compare your price to auctions that sold or did not sell and evaluate wheather or not your item has a selling potential for the price you paid and how much profit you can receive after fees.

The green Prices are auctions that had winning bidders and the red prices are auctions where the item did not sell.

Management at Ebay is inept. The final value fees went up 40% and they could care less what anyone thinks. I have cancelled my account and I use either craigslist.com or overstock.com. The later has a better program anyway.

I recommend that everyone cancel there accts, or at least have a 30 days moratorium on listings, and really hurt theses “jerks”.

But, as usual the Americans will rollover and be screwed like they have in everything else.

Good luck you fools.

I just got the email notifying me that Ebay will join in on the great sucking sound of the world. Less Options! Yah, “you asked for it!” I don’t care why or who it is supposed to benefit….it’s just depressing that it is never enough for some people. Why not make changes that benefit everyone and let EBAY take the hit? Why not spread it evenly and let all take the hit? Why do companies have to keep hitting? Like I said, I don’t care what their reasons are, they are not good enough. I don’t use gallery mostly so I would be losing more than what is shown in your figures. I just know that Paypal is next. MORE MORE MORE! Also, they solved the feedback problem by letting buyers now threaten sellers. Fucking brilliant Ebay!
I will be boycotting throughout February. I wish more sellers would do the same and if you make your living at it, just hold back a few items, just a few and maybe it will be worth it to you in the end. Thanks for the forum!
