STORE Sales - with new fees. Does anyone else feel it?

Posted Nov-28-06 17:54:49 PST

Been awhile since I last wrote in the blogs.  I'm wondering if anyone else feels the additional fees since the rate hike on stores.  I'm thinking I'm going to have to do something different as the fees are eating up my profit.  I sell my items very cheap because that is my store philosophy, but the fees are making me rethink it all.

What did eBay say--that the average Store seller's fees would go up 8%? They've yet to produce the fancy math they must have done to come up with that figure, as I know mine went up a lot more than that!

I have to disagree--there are many people who start up with eBay sales everyday, who have the same grand ideas of making their own living and running their own business that we do, but who do not share our "history." They don't know what fees used to be--and they'll be more than happy to pay current fees.

I wish eBay would grandfather fees for us veteran sellers, so that we aren't hit so hard every time they decide to increase fees--we should pay what we did when be STARTED selling. Let new sellers pay the current rates!
