Wasn't there ebid, or bidpay, or something like that. I tried it years ago and never even got any views.I am a business seller. They choose if you are or not. So we get different benefits etc.
Shop was good when we sold a lot but they used to do 3 top seller ratings with 30% of for the best sellers.
I was involved with Chinese sellers who stitched me up.owing me 40k so when HMRC and Customs and excise asked me for VAT on 1.3 million I willingly gave them all the details I had on the Chinese pair.
The reason they were able to start again was that my account was no good, with my supposed 8% commission, after ebay dropped the 30% Discount.
It also gave a higher ranking to top rated sellers . Similar to the 99p auction styles.
I also had access to an account manager via a mobile phone number.
All long gone now..
I can't see how ebay stay in business and indeed why an alternative has never taken off.
I seldom sell stuff on eBay now (private seller) as they seem to favour the buyer over the seller (who pays their fees) too many times I had money taken away because of things being allegedly broken or misdescribed. It is convenient for buying I guess, it is most peoples "go to" so is why they survive. For business sellers, they will get a lot of traffic. Way more than if they have their own website.
Your situation though, I bang out of order
They dont want private sellers. Just business.
International shipping or you already have the new system active on your account? Wasn't to start till February...
You should have been only charged ~£2.50 in fees, 4% of total + 75p + 0.42% regulatory fee once new system is in place so 0 fees right now, click on transaction fees to expand it and show us what it gives for the breakdown out of curiosity please
I am.classified as a business seller. They have been withholding funds till delivery for some time now..
I was merely showing the punter hands over 40 quid I get 3/4 of it.
Ahh that explains it then, not sure what the benefits of being a business account are seems most don't bother declaring it.
Not sure what the original fees were for business sellers over the last couple of years but ultimately this new fee isn't a massive end all for private sellers unless they're selling items at car boot sale prices (<£5) as still cheaper than the original 12% fee, people just got too used to the 0% fee over the last couple of months

I haven't heard that sort of talk for 30 years
If you have a Reedy T shirt in pink for sale I'll take it. As long as it's at least an XL in size ...

I found this but I'm not sure if it's a genuine one. I have messaged the seller to.
I have purchased two items from the same seller. And they have shipped the small parcel with yodel and the large one with Parcel Force.Team Associated/Reedy '80'S T-Shirt - Pink X-Large | eBay UK

So it must be an Ebay generated message and I suspect they are genuine.
Amazon seem to have opted for the "arrived early" approach. I had two items due on the 5th. They turned up on the 4th.

My purchases are mainly from Ebay and they usually turn up before the due date, this is the first time I've been notified it will be late.

Yes I noticed that the past 3 weeks or so also. It's a new thing it seems.
Quite annoying too - if you expect it to come on a Friday say then get a notification the Wednesday or Thursday that it's out for delivery. I can open my gates remotely but sometimes miss the notification and parcel ends up left at the gates all day beside a public footpath
It's also annoying if you need it next day and you don't have a clue if its going to turn up.
They seemed to have destroyed the high street and now want to stop guaranteed next day delivery.

BUYERS and anti motorist councils did that. I have not as far as I can recall, had one failed next day delivery from Amazon.
Nor me but I have noticed many items are now 2 day delivery. But all of them have arrived next day.
I thought it was just over Xmas but it looks like it's the norm now..
