The changes has one simple goal&#8211;to attract more posting by lowering the upfront cost. For existing sellers however this comes at a heavy price, for the final value fee&#8211;the commission you would have to pay after you successfully sold your item&#8211;has been significantly raised. It&#8217;s not a bargain for most sellers: eBay lowered the upfront cost by $0.05-$0.8, in exchange for a 3.5% increase in the final value fee for the first $25 of the sold price, and roughly 0.5% increase for whatever comes after that. 3.5% of $25 would already be $0.875, but you only get a $0.8 if you are posting an auction with a starting price of $500 or above. For anything below $25 the reduction is $0.05, which means an starting price of merely $1.43 would leave you worse off under the new price scheme.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s just say, eBay is in hot pursue of profit this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\" \/><\/strong><!--e9d57b19b02b37c0a0954305c50bdf06--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given eBay&#8217;s relatively poor performance this year and the departure of its CEO as a result, it is not surprising that eBay is on for a change. eBay has recently notified its user the coming change in pricing.
