0 Selling fees for private sellers!
 

In a surprising twist ebay UK (and maybe other countries too) have stopped charging private sellers listting or final value fees. Pretty cool that we can sell for free put it puts them in competition with other free marketplaces like Facebook.

You spent years moaning about fees and they finally listened (sort of)

But they're going to come down harder on business sellers using private accounts apparently.

It's good for genuine private sellers upcycling and recycling expensive gadgets though.

True but I wouldn't put it past you stealth rascals to game the system with 0 listings fees as a private seller then when ebay force you to upgrade just start again with a new private account. That way no listing fees forever and plenty of backup business accounts if you ever feel charitable enough to pay ebay a fee.

listing fee is always free on eBay.com

Selling on ebay.de has been completely free for private sellers since March 2023. It's great that this is also coming to other sites.

Always a catch

I’ve been saving listings and waiting for the 80% off FVF offers for the past years. The offers came roughly every 2 weeks so this is good for me. I wonder what volume before they insist on you switching to business. They offer 300 free lists before charging listing fees.

The 80% off fees deal were 100 listings. I barely list even 20 a month theses days but they still send me offers of getting an EBay Business loan with them despite it not being a business account. I was selling more previously.
