FED UP with eBay arbitrariness. FED UP with surveys that probe us for new hidden price hikes. FED UP with excuses that it’s for the better functioning of the website and its growth.The latest move they’ve pulled on us professional sellers with advanced stores, a 75% reduction in the number of “fixed price” items and free insertion fee listings, results in these options:_You remove the items that exceed the 2,500 free listings (without insertion fees), since from 10,000 items they go down to 2,500 free items, losing the work (time and money) put into the listings you are forced to remove. _You pay the cent commissions for more than 2,500 items, which in thousands of items amount to tens or hundreds of euros by the end of the month._You change store tiers, from Advanced to Premium. That means going from paying 40-something euros to €150 or more, VAT included, for the store fee. Depending on your sales, the percentage eBay charges at the end of the month skyrockets; we can easily be talking about 20 to 30% of your sales.ALL OF THIS WITH NO OPTIONS, EXCEPT PAYING A LOT MORE. Which means a reduction in the seller’s profits, with the possible removal of products for sale, which affects sales and the customer (buyer) both in your store and on the eBay platform.IF EBAY WANTS TO RAISE THE PRICE OF STORES, THAT’S FINE, IT’S THEIR RIGHT, BUT DO IT IN A MORE CIVILIZED WAY AND WITHOUT CAUSING A DISASTER FOR MANY STORES.EBAY WORKS BECAUSE OF EVERYONE’S WORK AND FOR EVERYONE’S BENEFIT (THE PLATFORM, SELLERS AND BUYERS).NO TO ABUSES. And the “if you like it, fine, and if you don’t, leave eBay” line doesn’t hold up, because there are other platforms, and as a seller I will give priority to others that offer me better conditions.Very annoyed by what’s happening, a “cordial” greeting.
