Ebay / paypal fees
 

Does anyone know any good ways to reduce ebay paypal fees?!?
(I have a basic store already)

Any suggestions would be great!

You are in the UK?

Some ebayers are just unkindly to Int'l buyers (not you) and anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

In US for Int'l shipping say on FCI rate 2 oz I charge 6.25, I've seen sellers having a rate of 8.25, they only get charged 10% on the first domestic cost.

Sure I lose a little bit there but most Int'l buyers will buy more than one item from me. If they don't its unwise b/c my item is wanted when the situation arises, I've had repeat buyers and I'm sure some wish they would have bought more than one.

Check if the UK does this the same way, other than that ship in padded envelope or I buy some small boxes to keep on hand, its good to stock them because prices will go up on them, you can always sell some off if you buy a quantity.

Hope this helps some:yar:

Ebay UK is going through some changes with their system. So it's best to get caught up on the new structure. One major change that is how FVF's are calculated...

A few threads have been posted recently on this (below is one of them). Best to read up on them...

New fee structure comes in very soon.

Have a read thought he thread An0nym0u$ (that is hard to type) linked you to :)

Overall if you play it right you should see a decent reduction in fees over the new few weeks

Well, I did appreciate you taking the time to write it out.

I might have to talk to Greenbean to shorten it :p

I figured no one had that name, but didn't realize it would be retyped in forums.
