eBay has made one of its periodic increases to the maximum postage rates it allows in some categories (notably CDs and DVS). Australia Post increased its charges back in April, so the new rates reflect that, ensuring sellers can charge a vaguely fair price. Most notably, caps have been dropped altogether for books. eBay is also introducing a new fee structure this week. [eBay]

JonBOYAnother fee restructuring, jeez.
I stopped selling on eBay after their last fee restructuring in which they felt it was fair to charge 7.9% of the final sale price. So, sell an item for $600 and eBay thinks their efforts are worth $47.40. It’s practically criminal.
Since then I make use of GumTree instead, where I can actually sell for free!

Ben JI’ve found gumtree to be heaps more successful than eBay. I don’t even sell on eBay anymore because of all these stupid rate hikes. I sell more locally anyway.

NoddyThe sellers just add the cost to their product or vise versa to compensate anyway, so nothing really changes.

JohnToday I tried to add credit to my SKYPE account via my cashed-up PayPal account (as usual) but could get no further than the ‘please add a card number’ which I don’t have/want.
PayPal access to my bank account via direct debit so what’s the problem? I AM CONFUSED!!!
