Ebay must be getting desperate.

Weird, whenever I've made an offer - it's asked for payment details and immediately taken payment if the seller agrees.

+1

So I'm assuming they've upped the final valuation fee then?

I’ve never understood the hate towards Amazon personally (unless you are a seller on there). They have nailed the customer buying experience perfectly.

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)

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.

Why less postage?

 

[slackboy]

Because I paid for postage via eBay.

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.
