No different realy apart from the payment is sent straight to your bank, minus the fees. Fees are more or less the same as before. Apart from ebay now click more as they score a little more what paypal would have took.
You do know new stuff is sold on there dont you?
His own worst enemy.
Indeed. Also, if there are any issues with a transaction, they can now "hold" your funds. I sell football shirts mostly. Some buyer bought an old England shirt and asked to return it (didn't fit him, fat bastard). He opened a "return case", which I accepted. Because of that, eBay "held" my funds, which essentially meant they "froze" my money, until the case was resolved (I had about £40 they were "processing" at that point). I then had to wait to get the shirt back in the post, which took the stupid fucker almost a week to post back to me (funds still frozen). Once I got it back, I then triggered the refund of a tenner, which then meant I ended up getting my remaining £30 balance 3 or 4 days later. That was the quickest outcome. If the shirt had come back covered in shit or nits, and I'd refused the refund, my funds would have remained frozen until eventually resolved. It's bollocks like. I had another bag of shirts to sell. I gave them away to my god son instead, couldn't be arsed with it anymore.
It's definitely not for sellers now. I'm going to look into the others, Schpok (sp?) and Vinted and them.
Not as bad as Facebook marketplace. Just like an online car boot sale of hoist and snides.
Dont sell anything expensive where you have to post it as the buyer can just claim you send an empty box and as ebay as not a shop just a marketplace that matches a seller and a buyer they will always refund the buyer and the seller has to do the leg work to get theor funds back. Not too bad when you are a powerseller (soon to be changed) as eBay always give them the money as well as they dont want to annoy the bigger sellers.
Depending on the item gumtree or facebook marketplace are sometimes better as well.Appreciate your feedback - I’ve a few high value items I’m looking to sell and was wary of risking them on eBay as I didn’t know the ropes.
Agree - their new ‘fees’ claim to be the same as PayPal, but they now take the full % of the final mount - even if the buyer pays cash. They used to only claim a fee on PayPal transactions - after their final value fee of course.....oh yeah on your f***ing postage too.
Sold on there for 15 years and never had a problem. Im not a prolific seller but sell a few items now and again. Granted iv heard the horror stories. Rarley elsell expensive items, but if i do i always post special delivery. Sold a few watches and selling on ebay always gets the best price for a seller.
I've been using it for over 2 months now and the only real drawback is waiting 2 working days for the money to reach your account. As that's common for most financial transfers I don't find it particularly onerous. I note that they've reduced the generosity of their selling promotions in the last few weeks: the £1 max FVF is now more often 50% off FVF and the 30p transaction fee gets added on.
