 Fallout from buyer fee nonsense
My sales have taken a hit the February and I think I found out why.
I've always used personal accounts for stealth but now it seems there is a big advantage that comes with item pricing.
Since the rollout Ebay UK is now amass with obscure prices from personal accounts. 29.99 becomes 31.91, 49.99 becomes 52.71.. It's a total mess. One would assume they would show the price is the seller intends and then add the fee at checkout but no and I think we can guess why. Now we're forced to try and absorb the buyer fee to make our listings appear attractive again as intended. But even doing this isn't easy and now requires a spreadsheet just to set prices to be comparably attractive to business accounts.
EDIT: I suppose I should be happy this still works out to be a 50% fee reduction based on an item costing 29.99 which I now have to list as 28.14
