Major Ebay Changes

[Archive]

Just got through reading about some of the changes ebay will be implementing effective February 20th and there's quite a bit that will affect many of us who buy and sell on ebay. Some that stuck out at me:

* Sellers may no longer leave neutral/negative feedback for buyers
* Sellers with a high monthly volume will have their items displayed first in search results
* Final value fees will jump to 8.75% of the first $25 (from 5.25%) and 3.5% of anything above that (from 3.25%).


The feedback change is an attempt to cut down on sellers leaving retaliatory negative feedback. The change to give more exposure to sellers who list many items a month stinks for those of us who sell of a single card here or there. The final value fee increase isn't that big a deal - it's an extra .80 they are taking from the first $25 and then an additional quarter of a percent after that.
