Begun the Ebay changes have............

[AndyG]

Well after the "trial" ebay is converting everyones My Ebay to the new format and the searches will be in the new format from 12/03/09.

They just changed me over to the new My Ebay format about 15 minutes ago - no opt out anymore. I already cannot stand the way the new my ebay looks like a regular listings page, so I'm going to have a play and see if I can change the format.

Final value fees go up to a flat 10% (up from 8.75%) on 12/03/09, with one concession being that if you list at £0.99 or lower you don't pay an insertion fee. Maybe this £0.99 will see more low start auctions?

bastards i hate it when they change stuff why do they do it? if it aint broke dont fix it!!

let ne know if u can get it back to how it was!!

 

[weasel]

Yeah I noticed mine had changed earlier. ****ing confusing the new set up. Why the hell they felt the need to mess about with it I'll never know!

Mine changed a couple weeks ago. I am starting to get used to the interface, but I still liked the old one better. The day I can no longer opt out of their new search experience is the day I'll really be pissed. I don't see why they can't give us both options. Us old timers can stick with the old interface and new users get the new.

ebay are getting such greedy ****ers now

I mean I had something on there that if it sold would be a final value fee of nearly 45 quid,, you bypass ebay and sell on a forum and thats a lot of money you save

I sell very little directly through ebay now. I just use it to advertise and try and do deals privately. Pity there isn't more competition yet :?

 

[Ron]

Am the same just try to stick it on ebay to advertise it and get deals done outside ebay

Greedy I'll say. Costs nothing to put on an ad if you start it at 0.99p or under - but they take 10% of the final price in fees up to a max of £40.00 :evil:
