Hello,
I feel majority of the Sellers cannot earn much on ebay.
If you have to earn something on ebay then you need to work on wafer thin margins.
That's the business Model of ebay because ebay creates competition amongst the Sellers.
The one with the lowest price would get better Sales. One can only survive if one gets good volumes.
Now, since a couple of years the number of over-all Orders have shot up and sensing this .... ebay Fees has been increased by providing an excuse that they have been continuously investing.
If earlier, there were 1000 Orders a day on site .... ebay was earning X amount in a day.
Now, there are 5000 Orders in a day .... ebay is earning 5X amount in a day.
The logic is very simple .... when volumes increase Fees has to come down.
But with ebay they want increased volumes and increased profitability to make their profit 10X.
ebay Sellers need to pay the following Fees which is taken up in parts ....
1. Final Value Fees (FVF)
2. Listing Fees
3. PaisaPay Fee
4. EMI Fees
5. Shop Fees
6. Listing upgrade Fees
7. Service Tax
...... other expenses on Sellers, which are not accounted for are :
8. Courier Charges (where free shipping is offered for better DSR)
9. Insurance charges
10. Packaging charges
11. Loss against Items which are lost or damaged in transit
12. Other operational expenses.
So, if you account for all these ..... in reality the Fee would work out to be somewhere around 25%.
ebay would never ask for this kind of Fees and would always like to take it in parts ..... otherwise 90% of the Sellers would run away.
Increasing the Fees is totally against the growth and is not acceptable ...... But ebay is not an Indian Political Party in Power which may Roll Back the increased Fees.
It's like Take-it OR Leave-it.
In the Announcement, it is clearly mentioned ..... We are aware that, as a seller, you have a choice of outlets through which you can sell your products. .
best regards

YES THE BITTER TRUTH IS TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. A typical American attitude.
In the present scenario, with unfriendly people at ebay, cut and paste customer care, useless feedback policy, crap CRF, no seller protection in place, refunds being done at a drop of hat, with all this, this price increase by ebay across the board is totally unacceptable to me as a seller.
To add to this the recent hike in Petrol price will send the seller budget for a complete toss, just calculate what will be bottom line for the sellers on ebay. It is much more sensible to shut down business on ebay.

Hi,
eBay will certainly loose Genuine sellers especially who are into Electronics Category (including Computer Peripherals).
Sellers cannot sustain with this pricing. As mentioned by rajelectroniks, its better to shut than getting 1-2% margin at the end of the day. ---------------
