2006 Fee Adjustments
As you probably know, we periodically make changes to our fee structure. We'll be making some adjustments to our fees, and I want to highlight the most important ones. The following changes will go into effect on February 22, 2006:
For core insertion fees for auctions and Fixed Price listings on eBay.com, we're again lowering the lowest tranche fee (i.e. for items starting below $0.99) - from a quarter to twenty cents.
For feature fees --
-We're making Picture Show and Sales Reports Plus free for everyone.
-We're reducing the fees for the second and third tiers of Picture Manager and increasing the storage you get at these higher levels.
-And we're trying something that has worked well for us on eBay Motors. For the first time, we're offering two new bundles of optional listing features that can save you up to 39% per listing. (Read here for details.)
For final value fees for auctions and Fixed Price listings on eBay.com,
we are increasing one fee this year - the final value fee for the middle tranche, which will increase from 2.75 to 3%.
There are no changes for eBay Stores fees.
I encourage you to take a moment to learn more about the upcoming fee adjustments as noted in the Announcement pages.
