Hi everyone. I’m here with a reminder that the new pricing structure for Fixed Price listings, as announced by Lorrie on August 20, goes into effect at midnight Eastern time tonight. That means that sellers will be able to start taking advantage of the new 30-day duration for Fixed Price listings for the new low Insertion Fees of 35 cents, and just 15 cents in Books, Movies & DVDs, Music, and Video Games.
Also starting at midnight, and good through the end of the year, our special holiday promotion goes into effect for Books, Movies & DVDs, Music, and Video Games: Fixed Price Insertion Fees are just 5 cents when you use Pre-filled Item Information (see details here).
If you haven’t already, please make sure you’ve reviewed all of the information pages we’ve provided to learn more about the other changes being introduced. Please note that although many of these changes are only currently being introduced on eBay.com (and not eBay.ca), it’s important that Canadian sellers understand the impact these changes may have on their sales.
In addition, check out the Seller Checklist, which will help you stay on top of when various policies and features will take effect, and provide updates on the availability of tools for bulk-editing your listings. A few key upcoming dates:
- Starting October 1 and through the end of the year, sellers will get a free Subtitle listing upgrade, and eligible PowerSellers will get double their Final Value Fee discounts for items sold with free shipping.
- Include at least one domestic shipping option within the new maximum shipping charges. (This is mandatory by October 5, 2008 if you list on eBay.com in Books, Movies & DVDs, Music and Video Games, and recommended for listings made on eBay.ca to remain competitive on both shipping and in search standing.)
- On October 20, remove cheques and money orders from “Payment Details” if listing on eBay.com. If you list on eBay.ca, make sure to offer at least one of the US approved payment methods to secure exposure to US buyers.
- Also by late October, you’ll need to specify your handling time and return policy in your listings.
You can read an overview and more details about all the changes we announced on August 20 here.
Sincerely,
Dinesh Lathi
