-Uk has done it, big success.-Australia just did it!https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/ebay-makes-huge-move-to-entice-side-hustle-sellers--but-aussie-buyers-will-pay-more-140100142.html So now Canada is the only major English speaking Commonwealth country that still charges small hobby Sellers an obscene 15% (or even higher) fee just to list on this platform.I've been on Ebay as a very small scale hobby seller for almost 25 years (selling surplus stuff from my collection and around the house), and I've never seen Ebay Canada in such bad economic shape for both buyers and sellers.It's like a desert wasteland right now with very few items being listed (or sold) because there's so very little money to be made with Ebay taking such a huge cut of any profits. Canadian sellers have very little incentive to list any more. It's usually just not worth the time and energy.As a result, Canadian buyers also have very little reason to visit this site anymore compared to alternatives like Amazon which carry far more products.Cutting selling fees to zero for sellers who sell under $30k in sales a year would help get some product back on these (virtual) Ebay shelves and help resuscitate a dying website. Just my thoughts.
