As of today there are no more listing or final value fees, with a few exceptions (Vehicles being the main one)

Wow, wasn't expecting that, wonder how much they will lose. Is this a regulation thing or what I wonder
Jon
losing ground to facebook/Vinted etc it seems. Can't complain, although I don't sell much any more, especially expensive stuff!
Yeah definitely the clothing has spurred them on, a month or two ago they started doing free listing/final with that category only.
Ironically within that time Vinted has decided to do the same thing.
The only thing I'm now not clear about with eBay is the fees for card payments. That is missing from the above page and can't see who pays it or how much.
From what I've read on Vinted the buyer pays those card fees.
Well, superficially at least, it seems like good news.
That said, if every item I've ever sold on eBay had been at zero fees, it would have saved me .... must be, ohhh .... erm, in the region of .... dunno, maybe .... £0.00.
Total items sold = zero.
Total items bought ? Maybe half a dozen. Maybe. I can't really remember.
Number of years since I closed my eBay account? Guessing at 20. Or getting towards it.
I am not what one might regard as an experienced eBayer. I just know I didn't have anything I wanted to sell badly enough to faff about with what certainly can/could happen if you did it on eBay. What things are like these days, or anywhere near recently, and what rules have changed ....? I know less about that than I do about quantum physics. And you could fit thati on the pointy end of a typical ... erm .... quantum? In large size print.
So when I say it seems like a good thing, don't read much into it. There could be any number of gotcha's I'm not seeing .... which is why I gave up eBay in the first place - avoiding getting done seemed too much like hard work, and I'm a confirmed, dedicated and card-carrying lazy-ass when it comes to such things.
A lesson learned from PeterB about dignity in adversity, so Peter, In Memorium, "Onwards and Upwards".
The only bad thing for me is I have an ebay box and each time free listing came around I would list the contents of the box.
I had spotted generally other platforms creeping in, my with use vinted and I do look at FB marketplace before ebay for used and aliexpress is generally better for new rather than ebay (I guess that where half the sellers get their stock).
Quick sigh for past fees paid.
Various other changes in the offing, including the upcoming 'eBay balance' /wallet thingummy, not the most appealing idea ever (well to them it is naturally) and I foresee the new Simple Delivery listing option being fun & games.. ah for the old days, there really isn't much left that they haven't mucked about with now. Change & decay in all around &c, mumble mumble. Seen the new Messaging view for example? :/
