I saw this and posted it in my thread. This promotion makes me MAD.

[i_love_yorkie]

they want to get cool down seller- but offer free shipping? what's the difference?

 

[catlover]

Let's do the math

Item sold for $25 FVF 1.31 With 15% discount 1.11 Difference 0.20
Item sold for $50 FVF 2.19 With 15% discount 1.85 Difference 0.34
Item sold for $75 FVF 3.06 With 15% discount 2.60 Difference 0.46
Item sold for $100 FVF 3.94 With 15% discount 3.34 Difference 0.60

Wow! What a deal!

NOT working

I think ebay just want to inflate the listing number, I'm not going to bite.

 

[twochubbycheeks]

I KNOW! I hate this! grrr! shipping is sooo expensive.

 

[Sassyvgirl]

Hi ladies!

This promo makes me wanna gag! It's eBay sucking up for their biased feedback changes. BUT, if I am not mistaken, do we not have to list shipping fees anyway? EVEN if we ship for free? That increases the FVF no matter what....cha-ching! MORE money for "feeBay"

I JUST started selling and I am pretty sure I won't be doing much now....

It's all psychological. They're hoping you actually won't do the math.

Lose $12-$30 shipping to save a few pennies? Right,

Listings are down. eBay is doing the small seller in.

eBay does not have a problem with the auction listings on the lower half of the page for Saks Neimans and Nordstroms. I wonder what they charge to ship? I just noticed these big retailers being piggybacked on the Auctions. It is criminal. I was going to list some Brioni menswear.

 

[Lvbabydoll]

^Yeah I know what you mean about the ads. It kind of bothers me because it defeats the purpose of bidding. I occasionally list a couple of items that the stores listed also sell, and when they put down there that Nordies and other stores also sell them, it takes business away from the smaller sellers too.

 

[moi et mes sacs]

They are getting desperate

 

[pinki682]

Are they suffering yet?

 

[Nuts25]

Are they suffering yet?

I don't think so. Their profit is actually up this year.

I believe it mainly because of the big retail stores ads.
