- Hello Resellers!
Let's talk about the newst Ebay's brain fart.
No sales for private sellers on ebay UK.
Are you for real?
Who's gonna pay for that?

100% agree and don't forget not only can you only sell 300 items for free as private seller, there is also a limit £££'s wise a year before you have to become a business too, this is yet another pointless scam like automatic positive feedback on new account (only till you reach 10 feedback). This is yet another example of ebay shouting from the rooftops that they will feed you and your family and then put a ribbon on a grain of rice and say enjoy.
I would not worry about private sellers if they were in fact private sellers.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of private sellers on ebay (Worldwide) who are actually business sellers.
Some of them are on you tube even.
Agree, we need bread and butter stuff as business sellers like an increase in size of our store would help a lot more than some promises and empty gestures.
When I saw this, I immediately thought.... Okay what's the catch here. And of course, there will be a catch. Several.
Great video, rational advice and a pep talk too! Cheers😊
I am a buyer. I have never sold anything. So am I now expected to all of the costs to buy? If so my buying will reduce.
Well, I don't know how it'll pan out. We must wait and see. If my fees will go down, due to buyers paying them, then I'll adjust the prices. Many will do.
me too!
I heard that EBay are going to introduce a Buyers Fee, like Vinted. 🤷♀️
Next year apparently.
@@rb7007 yes. The will, but iv3 found out about it after uploading the video.
Liz Morton, ValueAddedResource wrote, "But the bad news for buyers was quietly tucked inside of eBay's 8-K filed with the SEC today, carefully nestled into an otherwise bland and self-congratulatory internal memo from CEO Jamie Iannone..."
Then the quote from Ianonne: "We are also planning to introduce a buyer-facing fee in the UK in early 2025 alongside a set of buyer enhancements that provide additional value. There will be more we can share on our future plans at Q3 2024 earnings and our next Global All Hands event."
@@Patricia.resells yes. I went there to read it, after you've posted the comment. Hard to say anything at this point. We need more details.
From Liz Morton's recent post on X it says eBay will be charging those buyers a kind of fee on those purchases beginning in 2025.
@@Patricia.resells interesting
Any little thing helps. True, the fake INAIDs need to stop from scam buyers who have no morals. Imagine, we sent a beautiful CD player, everything working and the buyer sent a message sound not working, even though we have the video in the listing of the great sound. They sent us back another CD player! We are fighting this with Ebay now as the buyer does not deserve his money back at all.
Did you (I assume, not) take a photo of serial number, and put it into the listing?
@@polish_pete_uk Absolutely we included the listing photo with serial number. Just never know with evidence why some of the Ebay customer service phone staff give one stress.
I think you missed a point in the video. You said: "Dont worry about private sellers, " But a lot of private sellers are 'businesses in disguise' and some of them have multiple private accounts. I'd like to see ebay force private sellers who are clearly buying to resell into becoming business to give a fair playing field. Like any ebay change, we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out...
I've actually pointed that out, saying that ebay will do nothing to clamp them down. Well, they'll try, but I can't them making a great success out of it, as they're won't be making all that effort to attract new users, to block other users 3 months down the line.
@@polish_pete_uk Must of missed it as was working and listening at the same time, sorry. Thanks for the video Pete.
@@polish_pete_uk I think the HMRC will be involved in accounts no longer being able to hide as private when they are really businesses.
@@pnw-coast The probelm are people who pay taxes, as they should, but still selling on private accounts. In a long run, waiving fees for private accounts makes no sense. Too many people will think they are smarter, as they are, and will be trying to open new private account.
@@polish_pete_uk My point is that HMRC will probably push for better identification of sellers and their activity levels, which in turn exposes those sellers that are falsely using private accounts when they should be using business accounts. Nothing changes overnight. It's stepping stones.
The benefit of no fees for private sellers is to draw people into selling on ebay. Then they may want to sell more and then they'd become business accounts subject to selling fees. Also, getting people to sell on ebay can get them to buy on ebay as well. And when they buy from business sellers, then ebay gets revenue. You may doubt the 80% number, but you'd be wrong if you think they just made it up. The vast majority of listings on ebay-uk are from business sellers.
‘Private’ seller here who pays the bills whilst being an amateur 😂
Surely only a matter of time now until Ebay force you into migrating to a business seller
You will be reported soon don’t worry 😂
Hi Lets be real here its a dog eat dog world. large and small businesses don't care how i put food on table pay rent etc and why should they ? They are there to make cash to put food on there own table
its that same attitude for private sellers im a private seller obviously i think its great no fee on ebay. But your right about private seller we are amateurs,
Lets just say i bought an item for £100 used it for while now im selling it for £50 alot of the time i will get messages from resellers not other private sellers asking if i would take even less
and thats fair enough its a capitalist society Again dog eat dog world
Private sellers get into this habit of i just want it gone out of the way etc.
But if you are a small business changes happen all the time and just like throughout history you have to adapt to survive.
I did like the vid by the way you made some good points keep up the great work.
The point that I was trying to make here is that if ebay wants new users to join the platform, there are better ways to do it, than waiving fees. Today we know that they'll introduce buyer's fees, and I don't think it will help at all.
My channel is skewed more towards business sellers, as this is who I am. I didn't want to kind of downplay private sellers, by calling them amateurs. Rather build up the confidence of business sellers by calling them professionals.
It's great for me, can't see me selling over 300 sales just yet but if I did and had to be a business seller I'd be pissed
Can you not just use a private account? You may need to create a new account but what's stopping you from using a private account and just offering free returns?
@@darthfakington2227 do you really think that ebay is so stupid not to notice an act on you? I've made a video about that some time ago, when they waived fees on selling clothing.
@@polish_pete_uk Why would eBay care? Not trying to be funny here just asking a serious question. As long as you're paying your taxes and complying with legislation, then what does eBay have to do with it?
@@darthfakington2227 it is perfectly legal, and I've mentioned that in this vide as well, as others. But Ebay can always block you, and they dont have to give you a reason. Maybe on different name, address and IP it would work. Not worth to risk it.
@@darthfakington2227 Why would eBay care? Because they don't get selling fees from private sellers, so of course they're going to care if people are pretending to be private when they are actually businesses.
They have already announced a buyer fee coming in 2025, so they are finally kicking us out huh
@@ptc2307 yeah, but I've only read it after video was live.
