The new fee structure will be 12.35% plus $0.30 per transaction. This is a reduction of .55% for the seller. There is NO scenario where the seller pays more unless they have a special deal with PayPal currently.

If one has an EBay store the the costs are all .85% lower than this plus the Ebay store cost.

Also, the maximum final value fee for EBay store owners is also dropping as well. This will drop to 11.5% upto $2500, which is really 9.15% (plus the 2.35%) upto $2500 ($229 vs. currently $350). Then there is still 2.25% over $2500 instead of the 2.9% PayPal currently charges.

So every scenario shows lower seller fees. If anyone has a factual example of where the new eBay fees are higher than the current ones, I’d love to see it.
