Another eBay Promotion - for High Value Items

I think it is important for all sellers to understand eBay's motives here.

 

Until last Spring, I would often list large face lots ($5,000 or $10,000) on eBay.  However, once eBay changed the fee structure to a flat percentage with a higher cap, it no longer made sense to offer those large lots.  I miss the "gold old days" when we would pay 1% or 1.25% for values over $1,000.

 

I suspect eBay has lost a lot of higher price listings with their new fee policy.  These two promotions are an attempt to regain some of those listings.  I expect the attempt will fail.  Too little too late.

Looks like it only applies to listings on Ebay.com.  Wonder how expensive a item would have to be to make it worthwhile?

eBay would charge FVF of $200 (10%) for a $2,000 items in most categories if the seller does not have a store and $180 (9%) if the seller has a store.

 

Offering a cap of $100 or $150 on FVF may bring a few more listings to eBay although I suspect the majority of sellers affected have found other venues to sell their high priced products..
