I can’t believe that I have been a registered member on eBay for 18 years almost two decades and the site has changed over time, that I personally don’t think they changed the site for the good, but for the worst by punishing sellers for charging for shipping even though you’re using their platform to handle the shipping, limiting access to customer service, Community form being is confusing to post, taking away a program that in a way encouraged buyers to buy more and that they could use with they earned for future purchases, eBay bucks, treating sellers unfairly were some sellers get their listings removed, even though other sellers are selling the exact same item, Grossly incompetent customer service representative.
Final value fee (FVF): A final value fee sounds like the seller would be paying a fee based on how much the buyer paid to purchase your item whether they want it in an auction style or if they purchased it through a buy it now and you would think that this would exclude taxes and shipping but nope they Include taxes and shipping.
Shipping: instead of eBay going after sellers for charging an excessive amount of money for shipping eBay decided to take away the ability to report sellers for this, Instead, regardless, a few years, eBay platform to handle the shipping arrangements or you Choose to use your own If you charge the buyer shipping, even though you’re only charging the buyer exactly what you pay in shipping. eBay still charges sellers final value fee.
eBay: What happened to eBay Bucks where the more you spend war in value of the item you would earn eBay Bucks which is basically a gift certificate for future purchases?
