Looks like eBay is sticking it to the sellers once again. For those of you not familiar with the Auctionbytes newsletter, here are a few of the latest releases: eBay Lowers Insertion Fees, Raises Commission Fees While auctions listed with a starting price of less than $1 will cost 15 cents in Insertion fees (down from the current 20 cents), eBay will no longer allow sellers to list items in fixed-price format for under $1.
At the same time, eBay is increasing Final Value Fees (FVFs). Items that sell for under $25 are currently charged 5.25% of the closing value - this will be increased to 8.75%. The FVF for items that sell for between $25.01 - $1,000 are currently 5.25% of the initial $24, plus 3.25% of the remaining closing value balance; this will change to 8.75% and 3.5%, respectively. FVFs for Store Inventory listings will rise from 10% to 12% for items that sell for $25 and less. For items that sell for between $25 and $1,000, the fees will be 12.00% of the initial $25.00, plus 8.00% of the remaining closing value balance.
