Oh yeah, I see what you mean now, they've sold already. Weird though, wonder why he sold them on so quickly.

Wouldn't an Epic Momma be more... epic than a regular Sugar Momma?

Yeah, 'fraid so

Lol that could be good option! I doubt I have much chance of meeting one at the moment though; I've barely left the house all week as I'm sorting through all the models and sorting out listings - I'm getting very, very bored and frustrated of it by now. I'm missing out on partying with the housemates, enjoying the sunshine and visiting relatives to sort it out, plus my next piece of uni work is probably going to rushed and late yet again, sigh.

I'm still hoping to keep a very good collection of the best stuff, but reducing the armies down to more sensible sizes and getting rid of a few. How this lot of eBaying goes is very important though, as I'm going to sell off everything I want to and see how much I get and if it's enough or more has to go.

Best get rid of what you can now, Glyn; in May, Ebay is raising their rates yet again, so you will have to pay final fees based on sale+shipping. Depending on where you sending these auctions, that could substantially eat into your profit.

Thanks for that! I hadn't heard. Do you know if it's happening from the start of the month or later on in? I'd imagine my listings should mostly be done before May, with some ending in the first week or so.

Looking at an email they sent me, it actually seems that the price may have changed. It's sort of vague:


"Highlights

April 19—List Auction-style FREE with FREE Buy It Now—up to 50 items per month with new Standard Fees.
Under the new Standard fees, list Auction-style FREE, any start price—up to 50 items a month. Pay only if your item sells. Plus you can add a Buy It Now price to your 50 items FREE—set the price you want and grab buyers ready to act now.

The Standard Final Value Fee rate for Auction-style listings will stay at 9% and be applied to the total amount of the sale—including shipping—with a maximum Final Value Fee of $100 (US$100 for listings created in US dollars, or C$100 for listings created in Canadian dollars).

Auction-style fees for Store subscribers will NOT change in April: If you sell more than 50 items Auction-style per month, an eBay Store subscription will most likely give you the lowest overall fees. If you don't have an eBay Store, consider opening one now.
As always, eBay Standard fees are the right choice if you sell occasionally or sell to earn extra cash. If you sell more than 50 items a month, you'll benefit from the overall discounted rates that come with an eBay Store subscription."

So unless you have a store, it seems as if we are already charged. Crappy.

Interesting. It makes me think that this may be their way of keeping people from charging crazy rates for shipping. Was kind of a loophole. Charge more for shipping, but get less in bids. you sill make about the same, but the percentage you pay to ebay would be less, therefore your profit is higher.
