Insertion fee charged on fixed price listings

[tigerslionsandbearsohmy]

I am being charged .30 cents on my fixed price listings posted after June 1.  These are good until cancelled listings. I thought that fixed price listings up to 50 per month are now free to list.

Effective June 1 on eBay.ca -- Certain categories (see below) no longer get free fixed listings, you must use auctions (or auctions with BIN) to get your free listings. This was announced about a month ago.

From: Insertion fees help page

Categories only eligible for free auction-style listings:

• Antiques
• Art
• Baby
• Clothing, Shoes & Accessories
• Coins & Paper Money
• Collectibles
• Dolls & Bears
• Entertainment Memorabilia
• Health & Beauty
• Jewellery & Watches
• Pottery & Glass
• Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop
• Stamps
• Toys & Hobbies

I wont be listing on ebay until they resolve this problem.  Too expensive, and it makes selling fees and the total cost of listing not worthwhile, goodbye Ebay !

You may wish to check the viability of opening a basic store, if you list   50 items per month, the insertion fee's would almost pay a monthly store cost. Your FVF would also be lower. May be a win win for you. E-Bay will help with all the info you'll need. I think A basic store will let you list 150 items month in either Auction or Fixed.
