CHANGES TO PRICING FOR AUCTION AND BUY IT NOW LISTINGS ON EBAY.CO.UK

From 24th September, eBay.co.uk is revising fees for Auction and Buy It Now listings, Shop subscriptions and for Gallery.

Free Gallery
eBay.co.uk is removing the fee for the Gallery listing upgrade (was 15p on eBay.co.uk). This makes permanent the promotion that was due to end on 30th September 2008.

Success-based fees
Overall, eBay.co.uk is continuing its commitment to move the cost of selling an item on the site away from the front-end insertion fee and increasing the final value fees, so that the majority of fees are paid only when users successfully sell an item.

Sellers can continue to enjoy large discounts on final value fees of up to 40% based on volume of sales and good service.

Fees to fit your business
eBay.co.uk is also providing more tailored pricing options to fit the different sizes and business models of Shop owners and Buy It Now format sellers. This will help provide a more vibrant market place with even greater choice for buyers and greater opportunities for all sellers.
