Ebay must be getting desperate.

It's Amazon. File under evil corporate f7ck-bags.
I know a couple of guys that work for them. And they really enjoy it and say it’s a good place to work.

I’m not saying that I don’t hate Amazon for different reasons but they do employ a lot of people worldwide and also allow businesses to use their platform to earn (at a cost)
 
So I'm assuming they've upped the final valuation fee then

No, it appears to be completely free for UK only listings.

You'll pay extra if you sell to an overseas buyer.(3%. I think)

I've just sold a couple of things and had the full value (less postage) sent to my bank account.
 
Can you now use epay like PayPal ? Ie they hold the cash and you can spend it on ebay? That seems to be what they are saying?

Also do you still need to register a bank account to sell? As that's the bit I still won't be doing if so. 🤣

Good for them. Personally, Amazon can get in the bin. Some of the worst ESG behaviour you'll find.

Not really any worse or better than any other company that's a decent size. Some are really standout in their awfulness but ultimately a big company is always going to receive more ire from people than a smaller one because they have access to more people to piss off who wouldn't have even been aware of them had they been smaller. I've been involved in a couple of finance projects on ESG integration and in a lot of cases I couldn't help but feel it was a load of nonsense; not so much in that the idea was, but the things that were considered 'good', particularly under the environmental end of it around using renewables, and tree planting/carbon offsetting. It's just another thing to be looked at in isolation without much regard to the big picture and for people to point at and say 'look, bad'.

I hear you, there's certainly some truth in that. For me, there're on my personal black-list along with Starbucks, Tata and a few others.
