ebay at it again.

Seabeowner:
Anyone seen the new chargers for buyers from private sellers coming. Seems there is a 4% charge +£0.75 to be added to items listed by private sellers. So in reality they have moved the charges from the seller to the buyer over these last two charges. Also think there will be a delay in payment until the item is delivered.

Nurse Julie:
It was to be implemented from tomorrow but Ebay have just announced that the 'buyer protection fee' will only be on Electronic items from tomorrow, all other categories will gradually be included (until ebay change their mind again 🙄🙄🙄)
That's just one of many changes ebay are planning, including not getting paid until delivery confirmed by tracking or feedback being left or after 14 days if no feedback or tracking confirmation . They are even taking control of posting, under the 'Simple Delivery' scheme.

I didn't know 'feedback' was so involved Julie. I rarely do it anymore because I buy a lot of things on eBay and it is such a pain!  :o

BigAl (Alan):
Thanks for the up-date Julie...a saving of 4% + £0.75 on sales...I'm guessing that it will be implemented on all private sales in the near future. If items are sent by tracked/signed them payment is made 2 days after delivery...waiting 2 weeks for payment if the items are sent by normal post?...seems a bit long?
Thank heavens - eBays overseas sales -  Global Shipping Program. Payment is made 2 days after it reaches the UK collection point.., not on final delivery in outer Mongolia.

Nurse Julie:
It's going to be the buyer that pays the 4% +75p Al when buying from private sellers. I think it applies to all items over £10.00.It will all be shown as one final total before the buyer clicks the buy it now button. If the likes of you and me reduce our prices to take into account the new fees the buyer will pay, so the buyer pays the same price as now then yes, in effect it's us the seller that's funding the new Ebay protection fee.
