1. The eBay Bombshell – How Is Your Business Affected?
=====================================
Not too long ago eBay dropped a bombshell… It is no a surprise that eBay is raising their fees – they seem to announce this every year. (If you haven’t heard about the changes eBay is making, Skip McGrath has done a wonderful job comparing the new changes to eBay’s old policies… you can read about it here: http://blog.skipmcgrath.com/public/item/195904.

The changes eBay is making are being talked about everywhere… and there is one thing I have noticed as I have browsed around different forums. The changes seem to be affecting each seller differently based on their business strategy. Let’s look at the following four seller scenarios for a better understanding…

1. First of all, there are those sellers who start their auctions super low to motivate bidders to bid. A low starting bid (a penny or ninety-nine cents) is enticing to bidders because they see it as an opportunity to possibly get a great deal on an item. There is also the point that if there are two identical items offered at two different prices, bidders will bid on the lower of the two. This seller will not benefit as much from the drop in insertion fees. They will, however, be impacted by the higher final value fees. The only way this benefits this seller is if they have a deadbeat buyer who doesn’t pay. When you report a non-paying buyer, you get more of your money back on the final value fee refund.
