Online sellers who focus mainly on media items were particularly hard hit by eBay's recent changes in their fee structure. On average, these sellers put up more listings, yet don't make as much profit per sale.
In response to seller complaints, Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay’s Global Marketplace Operations, announced new fee changes on Monday.
Effective February 20th, eBay will lower insertion fees for books, music, movies and video games categories by up to 50 percent.
For example, auctions with start prices of $1.00 to $9.99 will cost 25 cents in insertion fees, compared with 40 cents under the previous scenario.
