eBay Fee changes for Shops, Features, Technology Categories & Wholesale Lot

[sapana@ebay.com]

Dear Community Members

The eBay India team has been relentlessly pursuing its goal of increasing online shopping in India by focusing on providing lots of safe, easy, deals for Indian buyers.

In the past 2 years we have invested in Coupons, Marketing Promotions, Regular TV and Outdoor campaigns, Deals of the Week, Daily Deals, eBay Guarantee* and PaisaPay COD to name a few. These initiatives have helped build robust demand onsite and have helped our seller community scale their business. Consequently, eBay India is on a fast paced growth path with more visitors, more buyers – both new and repeat, more sellers - both new and longstanding and more items available today than at any other time.

Post discussions with our key sellers across categories and after understanding the commercial dynamics of the ‘supply-chain’ in various product categories, we will be making a few changes to the eBay.in final value fees. We have also relooked at some of the feature and tools fees and are making fee changes basis the real benefit (exposure and sales) that our sellers derive from using them. The following changes will be applicable all listings and all transactions created on eBay.in and post 23:59:59 IST on 31st Aug 2010

Hi,
This sub-title fee change is bad. That deprives buyer. Ebay must learn what makes a successful sale. Mindless.
I am sorry.
Thanx,
Truly,

Seeing the recent price increase by ebay on all fronts possible. The number of fraud sellers on ebay is increased and this was bound to happen. These sellers make money on ebay by sending empty packets or doing short shipment or list as new and supply second hand stuff, its all happening on ebay.

This is only the beginning, picture abhi baaki hai dost.

Hi,
Besides unique items with a great title header, what else sells is cheap junk in bulk. Ebay is bent upon promoting the second variety, just for the kick of making a few quick buck.
The bad seller is able to spend more. We cant.
I think, temptation is a destroyer.
Thanx,
Truly,

Its Ok if its just accessories.
However you have increased the FVF in Car Electronics which is an upcoming category and the products cannot be sold above MRP. If you are charging 5% FVF+ Approx 5% Paisa Pay including Service Tax and cess. Then we are paying 10% only to ebay as fees and for EMI it is even higher upto 13% percent. Seriously do you think that companies selling Car Audio Systems like Sony, JVC and Pioneer are giving resellers their products around 30-40% below MRP....? If so you are mistaken they do not give more than 12%.
The Sales will speak for themselves as time goes by.
