caveaugrenier - you seem rather unhappy with the fee changes taking place.
Like you, without an eBay store, FVF will go up for me with the new changes.
" ZERO, NON,E NOTHING, NADA, RIEN, that this fee update benefit SELLERS"
Actually many sellers will experience lower fees as a result of the changes. For example, sellers of books with a store will see FVF lowered ffrom 13% to 9%. Since you also sell books, that may be of interest to you.
"double insertion fees"
??? I am not sure where you saw that. New listing fees for books are $0.05 for fixed price after the first 50 free listings, How much were you paying under the old fee structure?.The new schedule also gives you the opportunity to chose the "auction" or "fixed price" format for the first 50 "free" listings. That is an improvement that will save money to many sellers without a store.
I suggest you take the time to carefully read and understand the new fee schedule. There is nothing in it to benefit me but you may find something of benefit to you. Keep an open mind.
Good Luck.
A store is a continuous rollover of GTC listings for 12 30-day cycles plus 5 days each year.... and then plus one day for a leap year
I have been wrestling with going GTC listings,,,,,,,,,,but have come to the conclusion its not worth it to do so. I would rather adjust my inventory each month and gain search advantages that only come with new listings. Turbo Lister is the key tool to make it all happen easily and fast.
"I got charged $2.69 for $8.55 shipping charges and that seems rather high.."
????
The system automatically charges whatever FVF rate is applicable to the item for the shipping charge. To charge you FVF od $2.69 would suggest shipping charge of $25 or so.
Your eBay seller invoice would give full details of the fee being charged and the amount it is based on..
OK - let's take it a step at the time
"Shipping and other costs less sales tax: US $11.86 (Fixed Price) "
When you check the amount you actually received through PayPal, how much was received for shipping and handling?
"Shipping and other costs less sales tax: US $10.68 (Fixed Price)"
When you check the amount you actually received through PayPal, how much was received for shipping and handling?
For some reasons, eBay thinks you have charged $11.86 and $10.68 respectively for shipping and handling, not the $4.50 and $4.05 indicated in your post. Did you receive $11.86 and $10.68?
Now, checking your listings, I noticed a potential problem. You state in the description that a $1.00 handling charge will be added. Is it included in the $4.50 or is it added to the $4.50? That may be where the problem is. The amount listed in the shipping tab should be ALL INCLUSIVE, nothing extra. If you want to charge $5.50 for "shipping and handling", you should show $5.50 as a shipping and handling charge, not $4.50 shipping and $1.00 in the description. eBay's system does not read the description. They see a change in the amount charged for shipping and that may be the problem.
"I had understood that it would be the Canadian shipping or actual shipping"
Not quite.
It depends where you list.
FVF is charged on the first "domestic" shipping rate. If listing on eBay.com, it would calculated on the lower of the rate you charge to the USA or actual
