eBay UK has announced that sellers on eBay UK who trades in media like books, comics, magazines, CDs, DVDs, and even TV memorabilia, in addition to video games, will have to offer free Postage and Packaging beginning 19th October, 2009.
Many sellers are unhappy about this policy even though throwing in free shipping is enticing to some buyers. I for one personally do not like fake free shipping. Fake in the sense that the real cost has already been added to the price of the item. When it says free, it really should be free, right?
Anyway, in an effort to help sellers convert their listings early, eBay UK is offering a 20% discount on Final Value Fees (FVF) for medial sellers that offer free P & P from 20th August to 20th September, 2009. Well, one just has to wonder how appealing this discount would be, given the fact that sellers would be adding the cost of postage and packaging to the cost of the item, which jacks up the price, making FVF higher!
