O/T Ebay to start collecting final value fees on shipping!

[D. Bergin]

Another round of fee changes from Ebay from an E-mail I just got.

Seller fee update coming in July:

Thanks to your low-cost shipping, you'll keep the same low fees you have today.

Dear xxxxxx:

We know that online buyers pay attention to the total cost of an item--including shipping--when deciding what and where to buy. That's why to encourage low-cost shipping, starting July 6 Final Value Fee rates for Store sellers--Fixed Price and Auction-style--will be reduced and then applied to the total amount of the sale--including shipping.

The good news for you: Just keep your shipping charges low and, based on your recent selling activity, you will see little or no impact on your overall fees. Consider ways to further reduce your shipping charges, and your fees could even be lower than they are today.

5% PowerSeller discount retired--aim now to be an eBay Top-rated seller to earn 20% off
Also, starting with your June invoice, the 5% Final Value Fee discount for PowerSellers who are not eBay Top-rated sellers will be retired (all other PowerSeller benefits will continue). So be sure to check your Seller Dashboard for up-to-date information on your rating and what you can do to achieve eBay Top-rated seller status and earn a 20% discount as soon as possible.
