I dont know how many people have bought/sold cards on ebay that belong to the Gym. However, I want some people's thoughts on the changes and will this prevent you from buying/selling on ebay or will it not matter.
Here are some of the bigger changes -
1st Change is Ebay agreed to lower it's listing fees but are raising there FVFs (Final Value Fees) enough that it is a lot more now if something sells then before when the fee's were what they are. For the cents they are taking off in the listing just doesnt justing the higher percentage they are raising the FVFs.
2nd Change is Sellers are no longer able to leave negative or neutral feedback for buyers. What is gonna happen is if you buy and item and dont pay or whatnot it hurts you and I guess shows in your feedback profile. (not entirely sure how this is gonna work.)
3rd Change is most likely the biggest to those of you who buy cards on ebay. If you love making your decks all RH this is gonna drive you nuts. Ebay has announced as of tomorrow, any Fixed Price, BIN (Buy It Now), and Store Inventory are gonna to have to be listing at 1.00 or higher. That means no longer can sellers list RHs or other cards for 10 cents since that is a reason price for most common RHs. It will end up having to be 1.00 . However it is not positive if sellers can accept best offers below 1.00 on these listings. It is also not clear if older listing in Store's will be grandfathered in or not.
Some other changes that are interesting is the Buyers can leaving multiple feedbacks for a seller and each will count towards there rating, not just 1. So, you sell to 1 person 5 different items and they leave more than 1 feedback I think they will all count. It may only have 2 that count, but it makes it easier to get better feedback. Another change is gallery is now free which affects Ebay Stores. Not much, since while on normal ebay it is .35 for gallery (I think), it is on .01 for ebay stores. I am not sure how helpful saving .01 is. I guess it adds up over time though.
This all takes place starting tomorrow Feb. 20th.
Here is a link to all the changes going into effect tomorrow (There are a few links on the page that explain everything but that is the "main page" for all the changes via links - Ebay Changes
I just wanted to know what everyone thinks about this and will the increased pricing and fees affect your buying on ebay in anyway?
Personally, while I am okay with a few the no listing for Fixed, BIN, Store Inventory under 1.00 and the raising of FVF is what I dont like, but that is just me.
