Quote:Selling fees are now more closely based on your selling success in the Photography and Toys & Games categories!

Between 23rd October and 31st December 2007 inclusive in the Photography and Toys and Games categories, the Gallery listing upgrade feature will be free and Insertion Fees will be reduced. For example, a listing with a Gallery photo starting at 99p will now only cost 5p compared to 30p normally, a massive saving of 25p per listing. Final value fees will be increased, but you only pay these if your item sells.

First media, now toys. Is Ebay moving towards category specific pricing? Will it be implemented on the US site?

Category specific pricing would be a definite improvement in many categories (MEDIA Smile

) but it wouldn't be enough of an incentive for me to start listing on eBay--eBay needs to adopt an Amazon style monthly subscription plan if they want my business...and the monthly charge would need to be the same or lower than Amazon.

... :twistedevil:

eBay already has category specific pricing for media sellers in the US...it's called Half.com. :imptongue: I doubt if they'll introduce reduced media listing fees on the .com site like they did in the UK and Germany UNLESS they finally decide to pull the plug on Half..
