My Mercari sales completely tanked when they did this! Even when I put in free shipping it still didn't help. In my opinion I kind of hope they don't do it.

[StaceNyourFace]

I love the idea of no seller fees, but having buyers pay an additional fee with purchases will not go over well. I think it would just give buyers ANOTHER reason (like having to pay A LOT more for shipping) to buy things on Amazon.

[michellehabza]

Glad you guys are safe over there. My understanding of the no seller fees in the UK is that it is only for private sellers not Sellers with Stores. I don't feel that they will attract average buyers with charging them fees. To attract people to look at eBay as a shopping option when making online purchases for their needs/wants/gifts I don't think adding more $$ as fees will do that. When I talk to people about eBay they usually say "but Amazon is so much faster and cheaper". Maybe I don't explain eBay well enough but I feel that the average shopper would not understand more fees on top of taxes and shipping. I wish they would do a public campaign about reusing, recycling, upcycling and being able to find what you need/want on eBay platform. Many of us sellers take time and effort to make sure we are putting out quality items; cleaning/prepping and even some times repairing to make sure items do not end up in the land fill and can get to a new home. This is just my opinion. Although making money a priority for me selling on eBay, I am a little bit of a romantic in that I want to save the world of its unnecessary garbage, LOL!

Most of us are already paying for a store subscription every month and a lot are paying advertising fees every other sale... so its not like they are reducing everything the seller pays to 0.

[margaretbidinotto]

Perhaps on high end items, Ebay could get away with buyer's premiums. But already many of us sellers get requests to lower our prices (even when they're rock bottom to begin with). I have to think that a buyer's premium will just drive customers away.

[willmc]

Instead of having 1 side of the transaction to pay ALL the fees, what if they split the fees between the buyers and sellers.

[TheChaChingKing]

I'm glad you're doing ok. We've had quite the month, too. Just too much. I genuinely hope you guys are OK. You're such an asset to this community.

[dyman]

I’m in West Palm Beach, FL. Glad to hear that you and your fur babies are safe.

[BayouBelleVintiques]

I'm not sure I see this coming to the US. I think the other countries got it because finding merchandise is a bit of a struggle there and this helps their market, where as here, inventory isn't an issue.

[treemanrob]

There are no buyer fees here in the UK. Zero selling fees on up to 300 standard listings a month for private sellers

[ThriftedSpirit]

I sold a pair of Chrome Hearts Glasses this morning. I'm happy.
I'd love no seller fees.
I said last night that P9irate ship was normally lower on insurance, this morning ebay is lower with insurance and signature
Glad you and yours are all safe. I'm extremely saddened as I didn't live far from the area in NC that is devastated. I think everyone is safe though. Did find out today that one of my estate sale runners passed 2 weeks ago which is the second this year.

[breezeflippers]

Hey Rod! Glad to hear you made it through the storm. Hopefully we avoid any more storms the rest of the season. Fingers crossed! Hope Mr Jack does better. We have a 14 year old Yorkie that is going through some of the same issues. Our pets are our kids now. 😊 I enjoy seeing the comic books you are selling. I just listed some signature slabs so hopefully those move. I have about 30 to send off to CGC in the next week or so. Take care!

[lennonfan]

EBay in the UK have given the private sellers no selling fees but the business sellers still pay selling fees, im in the UK

[deniseloomis]

So glad you and your family are ok. Prayers for all who were effected.

[euphemiaknw]

Just touching on what Mercari did with the no seller fees. No sellers fees translates into extra buyers fees. A seller can now lower their price to accommodate for the buyers fee (however the fee is variable and arbitrary so you don't really know what the buyer is going to get charged). However even if a seller lowers the price to accommodate for an unknown buyer's fee the minute a buyer sees additional fees tacked
on to the end of their purchase at checkout, theyre going to want a better deal. It's psychological. It doesn't matter if you've already lowered their price to accommodate- they see an extra 20 bucks on the end of their bill and they want it for less.

[positively_broad_st]

If Ebay would do simple scalable flat fees for listing instead of percentages, it'd be a lot easier to factor it into the selling price...

Nice video, which camera do you use for your videos..

[adessachui]

I never knew the box was precious. I learned something from that video. I would have been the re-seller taping it to keep it more secure 😮 I don't think that the lady had ill intent. I'm glad you are ok from the storm. Love your videos. You might need to take a break-too much stress from all that.

[shalyndria]

We just lost two pets in the past month, we never get enough time with our fuzzies, but I'm glad you're pal is feeling a little better. I had a similar experience with a scam buyer that sent a cd player back completely destroyed. Fortunately, I was able to show ebay the original state it was in, but they also refunded the buyer and that's a bummer. Scammers should not be rewarded for their actions. I appreciated ebay siding with me though.

[curtiscamron]

Sorry your dog is sick, hope everything turns out ok. I can’t sell anything in the last 2 months on eBay and when I do it’s usually foreign buyers. I think people in the US don’t have the disposable income right now. Glad you’re ok after the hurricane.
