New eBay gouge?

[Lost in the Supermarket]

For the first time ever.....I tried to do a bulk listing update (change the package size) and saw that I was going to be charged a fee.

I have done hundreds of bulk updates in the past. Is this a new way for ebay to gouge a few extra bucks out of sellers?

Sorta reminds me of an airline charging by the peanut.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ebay starts gouging us here and there in suttle ways.

I checked on two different accounts and got the same....a fee to revise an item (box size...????)

I've noticed that sometimes ebay changes options in the listings, and I have to bulk edit all the options again.

.....are you being charged a fee to revise?

I never used bulk edit revisions because of this problem. For some reason, whenever I try bulk edit eBay wants to charge me a fee per item.

Although if I revise individually the fees won't pop up

I never really put much thought into it .What fees are you being charged exactly? What options do you use? What changes are you making?

I keep an eye on the "fees" box when I make changes and post new listings. I was trying to bulk edit all of my listings to change the box size. That is it, plain and simple. Just to make printing labels a little faster.

I saw a fee for making changes to my listings that would have amounted to around 25 cents per. I had never been charged for a listing change like that before.

I went into another account to check what happened if I made the same change to a single listing. I was going to be hit with 30 cents for the same box change.

There was not upgrade involved. Just the size of the box...that is it.
