What do you think about eBay's new $1 fee for short time listings? - Bandi - Nov 16, 2015
eBay has recently introduced a new fee for listings with short duration. They are charging $1 fee for 1 day and 3 day listings. As a seller who mostly sells items with sales price less than $10, but looking to get it sold quickly, I am totally against this rule implemented by eBay. This is discouraging sellers like us. They claim they did it to favor the seller by making seller list for longer duration to reach more buyers, but personally, my opinion is that they are just trying to make an extra revenue for themselves.
What is your opinion on this?

Doesn't really make sense as a reason. If someone wants to list their item for 1 day or 3 days, they shouldn't really care.

It confused me when I saw it too. I completely agree with you. They take enough off of fees.

Of course they are trying to make extra revenues. What do you think they'll be doing?
