New Year, New eBay Fees

What does eBay brnig you this new year of 2007? Well, two words "higher fees". The new fee adjustments will affect eBay sellers on the USA and Canada platforms and also eBay Motors.

The new insertion fee, which will take effect on 30th Jan, 2007, will be as follows:

Core Auction-Style and Fixed Price Listing Fees:

Insertion Fees
We're increasing the Insertion Fee for the $1.00 to $9.99 level from thirty-five cents to forty cents.

Final Value Fees
We're increasing the Final Value Fee for the $25.01 to $1,000.00 level from 3% to 3.25%.

Please note that there are no fee adjustments for eBay Stores or Store Inventory listings.

eBay Motors Fees
The Insertion Fees and Final Values Fees mentioned above will also apply to eBay Motors Parts & Accessories categories.

For eBay Motors Vehicles categories, we are making these adjustments:

The Transaction Services Fee for both Motorcycles and Powersports is increasing from $30.00 to $40.00.
The Transaction Services Fee for Cars & Trucks and all Other Vehicles & Trailers categories is increasing from $40.00 to $50.00.
The Motors Reserve Fee is changing from a flat $5.00 to 0.1% of the reserve price, with a minimum of $5.00 and a maximum of $10.00. (The Reserve Fee is refunded when bidding meets the reserve price.)

This is another jab by eBay on overseas sellers who ply on eBay USA and Canada. The previous one was on cross border selling which was implemented just before Christmas last year.

As eBay grows stronger day by day, it will be harder and harder for people to start selling on eBay.
