Ebay Reduces Seller Fees

Ebay will formally announced today that it will begin reducing the fees it charges to list "fixed-price" items. The change will not take effect for sellers until mid-September 2008.

Under the new pricing plan, sellers who offer fixed-price items in eBay's "Buy It Now" format will pay only 35 cents to list an item for 30 days, a 70 percent reduction in upfront fees. The online auctioneer is also expected to announce that most customers will no longer be allowed to pay by check or cash--only a credit card or eBay's PayPal payment service will be accepted to complete transactions.

“This is a half-hearted attempt by eBay to address recent seller complaints: they essentially appear to be just subtracting fees on one end and adding them to the other. I’d be surprised if online sellers fall for this. They are more savvy now than ever and know the profits they want to earn, which is why we developed www.Wigix.com to be very straightforward with a simple, transparent fee structure (no listing fees and no limitations on listing periods) that allows sellers to keep their profits.”
