Got this email this morning, thought I'd share it in case anyone was interested.
Reminder: Fee update coming April 19
List Auction-style FREE, any start price, all the time. Add Buy It Now FREE to grab buyers in a hurry.
Dear tbob:
Just a reminder that starting April 19, Standard Auction-style fees will be changing and you'll be able to list FREE at any start price--up to 50 items a month. Plus, you can add the Buy It Now option FREE to grab those buyers who don't want to wait for your listing to end. In short, you can list even your higher priced items free and pay only if they sell.
Also, to encourage low-cost shipping, Final Value Fees for all sellers will be applied to the total amount of the sale, including shipping.
To get the lowest overall fees, just keep your shipping costs low and consider offering free shipping.
No higher fee for one-day and international shipping!
Note, when a one-day or international shipping service is offered and selected by your buyer, your Final Value Fee on shipping is calculated on the least expensive of your options--your international/one-day option OR the first domestic service offered other than one-day. For example, if your buyer chooses international shipping and you specified free shipping as your first domestic option, you pay NO Final Value Fee on shipping for that transaction!
More important reminders from the Spring Seller Update:
New eBay Shopping Cart
Buyers can add items from multiple sellers--both Fixed Price and Auction-style--to a handy cart and pay in one easy checkout. Some buyers are using the cart now and it will be the way to shop before the 2011 holiday season.
New place to manage communications with buyers
Starting in May, you'll be able to manage communications with your buyers from one handy location in the "Account" tab in My eBay.
Category and item specifics changes
Category and item specifics changes are consolidated with the rest of updates, so find out if there's been an impact to your listings.
