Let's hypothesize on an unmentioned aspect of the May 7th Paypal Policy Update

Hopefully ebay gets on track with that pretty soon.

my question to her is not Ebay,but Etsy.
I dont think Etsy uses AYden,it does have a merchant account like Paypal and accepts cc for us sellers.
Etsy has formed deep link with Google Search and so far has been very successful but comes at a cost which it now passed on to the seller by raising its FVF.

Goddamn, there you go not listening again.

ETSY USES ADYEN FOR PAYMENT PROCESSING.

BUYERS CAN PAY WITH PAYPAL, CCs, AND ALL OTHER SORTS OF THINGS

For USA sellers, the ONLY option is Adyen!! Nothing else.

Well.. since Etsy desperately wants to be discussed in this thread...

maybe the reason Paypal is already accepted on Etsy through Adyen and not through Adyen on eBay is because eB/PP is having to rework their fee/payment structure over the course of several TOS updates being rolled out over several months.

as long as the rate seller pays stay the same,makes no difference to me

Currently, 2.7% with no per-transaction fee

[ebaystealth1974]

So, based on a $100 transaction, you're looking at $3.30 for PP compared to $2.70 with Adyen.

eBay fee non refundable for return item that’s another thing

sounds too good to be true,consider Ebay sellers are mostly a bunch of slops

Well, it's what people are currently paying... regardless of what you think about it.

[agent006140]

good to hear that,a penny saved is a penny earned.
ten pennies make a dime,ten dimes make a dollar,
think what we can do with one dollar,

[phaz0rz]

Not much. But while we are on the topic of arithmetic, ten 1 dollars makes 10 dollars and 10 10 dollars makes 100 dollars, and that's much more usable. Amirite?

[agent006140]

your idea prompts many goldseekers to list zillion of items on Ebay .
Since listing is free,the whole site is clogged with identical items with the same pictures,pages after pages.

Wrong thread? What are you talking about?

[phaz0rz]

It usually is free to list on eBay. I've paid that 30 cent insertion fee less times in my eBay career than I can count on one hand and I've made at least a thousand listings.

He was right IMHO. Since you only pay when an item sells 95% of the time it's way too common for sellers to have 30 listings for exactly the same item with the same pictures and description. The only difference will be a 3 cent price variation or dirt cheap accessories irrelevantly added into the listing as a variation so the listing will show up first in a low-to-high price sort.

But I'd rather have millions of listings to sort through than only have a handful of options every time I go to buy something, so I can see why they let this stuff go on.

No shiit?

I've made thousands, and paid for most of them. I thought there was just a limited number of free listings, depending on your account type/plan. For example, my current account says I get 250 free ones per month. How does a person get around that, if they list a lot?

I specifically remember going round and round with eB CS support once, over a few hundred listing fees I was charged for, but the listings never showed up.

So, "zillions of free listings" have definitely evaded me! haha

[agent006140]

I have 5 Ebay seller accounts,everytime I looked into My eBAY,it tells me how many listings I can make each month and there is a message-you want more,just ask.
I sounds like you are selling real products with real profit,Ebay just loveto give you more free listings.
But not all categories ,may be you are listing in categories which do not offer more free listings.
I also will find other messages,one has a $5 offer to spend,so I bought some shipping supply.
Other accounts have earned Ebay bucks,so I spent that too.
sometimes Ebay has offer like 20% discount on qualified items,20% is on Ebay,seller loses nothing

[agent006140]

there was a time you get free listings when Ebay offers,and every seller will list like mad,but the sell thru rate is poor,as there are just too many listings,free listings do not bring in more buyers,just more listings.
A smart way is to list after free listing,yes,you pay a listing fee but your sell thru rate is higher.

[agent006140]

you can subscribe to a shop,which allows you so many listings and your FVF is lower,yu get x number of free auction listings and I suspect, Ebay gives you more visibility.
I have one,Ebay just renew the listings every 30 days,I dont have to do anything

What do you mean? The Refund button appears to be in the same place as always...
