Ebay buy it now

I am a bit confused.

In January or February when I sold a bunch of ram sticks on ebay, I could do the buy it now, with offers and list the first time for free.

I just tried that with the 2 cell phones I have, and ebay wants to charge me $0.50 per listing. Did something change?

It was probably a free promo, they do things like that often.

yes the free listings ended, You can get a basic store for $16 month any you get 150 listings for free, so it comes out to 10 cents per item per month,probably not a good way to go unless you are planning on running over 50 items all the time

Got a notice today that starting April 16th I would be getting 50 free BIN's...not sure if it's only for Power Sellers though.

o well...until i get to selling lots of stiff i will stick woth regular auctipns

I lost my power seller status but I still am only charged .10 for the picture frame around the ad for the first 50 each month.
Then a final value fee if it sells.

Yes this month ebay is making serious changes. If you don't have a store your final value fee will be 10% no matter what you sell. If you have a store your fee will be based on category you sell you item in. Like computer stuff it will be 4% so you bet your but ill be getting a store. What really sucks is they staggered the changes they are putting into affect so for 2 weeks ebay is going to be all messed up.

Overall I see the changes beneficial. Same price for my store if i have a 1 year agreement, then 500 free listings for my store level, and much lower final value fees on some things on top of top rated 20% discount. Only thing I am missing is calculated fedex shipping ****it!

I agree I cant wait for the changes. Should save me about 50% in fees over what im paying now. Only thing that stinks is that the fees for non store member will go up on the 15th and the new store stuff doesn't start till 1st of next month. So there is a 2 week limbo there for me. Ill be getting a basic store for sure though on the 16th.

I tried signing up for a store once, but something happened (cant remember what) and I couldnt.
