Back in the 90s it was only around 2.5 to 3% fees. I don't know if it changed gradually but I remember the shock a few years ago when I sold some things and it had gone up to nearly 10% then, plus paypal fees too.

I rarely bother with ebay now, and only ever when I get at least 50% off, or usually 75% off or £1 max.

And now they charge you the fee if you end an auction early! Although I think only if an item has a bid on it.

They got greedy and people have found other ways to sell their items - good.

royal mail squeezing from one end and ebay from the other means it's much less attractive, just too much hassle

On this promotion it says thanks for selling in 2016, if I was you sell a Few small ticket items, DVDs still sell remarkably well for a couple of quid, and 10% of a few pounds is nothing really ,
EBay's systems willl recognise you've sold a few items and you'll start getting promotions

Thanks OP. Heat added :smiley:

Cheers, didn't have invite but link worked

So where is the deal here ?

links work..heat

Thanks just seen it now was not visible when i posted only trouble i see is lots of people will not get the discount when it comes to it as it's account specific.

Well can't help it. Atleast I'm able to help the early ones who spot it..

good, better than nothing, but not good enough, 10% is daylight rip off, 5% is still unreasonable, 2% or fixed £1 is what it should be.

Anyone know if activating this will amend fees owed for any auctions created or ended beforehand? Literally just sold something and have 2 others ongoing. Would rather not pay the £46.50 fees! Lol.
