Thread: Special Offer : 50% off SELLER+ Lifetime cost Does this mean no seller fees for life?

  1. #1

    Default Special Offer : 50% off SELLER+ Lifetime cost Does this mean no seller fees for life?

    Does this mean no seller fees for my account forever? Seems too good to be true!

    You can do a basic listing with no fees, However a Gallery listing is a better option with only 2% fee (only when the item sells).

    There is no fee for listing, and no limit to the amount of items you list.

    Yeah but basic listings still cost 3% final value fee. What is the difference between a "basic listing" and a "gallery listing"?

    Also does lifetime mean no fees whatsoever forever?

    You are getting confused between seller and seller+ accounts

    Basic Seller accounts do have a 3% FVF

    A seller + account can have 0% FVF for the basic listing (no thumbnail picture) or a 2%FVF with the thumbnail

    See here http://uk.ebid.net/help_register.php and look at #2 there is a chart on the different types of account.

    Also, it will cost you if you opt for any extras ie bold, highlight, extra images (if more than 5 required), extra category, extra stores (if more than 5 required) etc.

    I understand that but it means no final value fees ever?

    Seems like a good deal if that's the case.

    As Jan pointed out earlier the SELLER+ account gives you free shops for life.

    Never underestimate the power of having a shop to give you: more identity as a seller, the ability to create your own categories within your shop and it will make it easier for buyers to navigate around your listings. On the bay a shop would cost $19.99 every single month. As your listings grow a shop is an absolute must and it is absolutely free.

    The 'no final value fees ever' is not a good deal - the 2% gallery listing is a fabulous deal. For buyers looking around the eBid site your pictures would not be visible with free option (until they clicked on the listing), buyers in general hate that and it doesn't take long for them to give up.

    Correct - No FVF if you use the Free auction style listing.

    Correct - and most sellers always advise to use the Gallery style listing. 2% is such a low amount to pay FVF (and that is only charged on the item amount and NOT the shipping).
