That would include most Zenescope and Avatar books. Weird. I thought that it was just the cover that Ebay was looking at.
The cover in question actually has very little skin showing. It’s just baffling that they allow actual pornography but not a book they’ve deemed inappropriate. Effing baffling. I also find it funny that other listings of the same book are still up for sale. I probably sound paranoid but maybe someone reported it to take a newsstand off the market or because they feel I’ve wronged them somehow. Idk. It doesn’t make any sense.

not ebay related but I bought a book off atomic avenue, my shipping info was correct. Seller ends up putting the wrong label so my book is all the way in Florida and i’m calling usps and their customer service is being completely useless and going in circles talking to the automated system. I’m on hold and hoping this situation is resolved
You shouldn’t be dealing with this if it is the seller’s fault. The seller should be doing all this.

If I did that, I would immediately ship you out a new book. If i didn’t have the book, I would refund you asap. Thats just ridiculous.

Not sure where to post this: Ebay fees have increased from 12.55% to 12.9%

Their earnings sucked for the quarter. Great call on their behalf to squeeze a few more nickels from us.

Since the switch, they also include the taxes paid by the buyer when applying the percentage.
Lol, that didn’t take long. The whole point to abandoning PayPal was “lower fees for us all”.
It was still costing us more. Ebay was full of it when they said that. The dollar amount ends up being higher without PayPal. They now apply the percentage with the tax included.

Dont think that was the premise, but the percentage that goes to fees have certainly gone up rather than down.
The switch generated about $4 billion in revenues for ebay.
When was the switch? They’ve been doing this for a while, from what I can tell.
Call it a convenience fee for collecting sales taxes for you.
I just meant the switch to managed payments but I only started that within the last year.

I still buy stuff on eBay but barely sell anything there anymore.

You all should have known… this is why I bailed ship immediately and stopped selling as I never gave them my banking info, etc.
If one wants sell, that’s where all the buyers are. Not me, but people selling $4 books are taking a noticeable hit.

That absolutely was part of ebays spiel about getting rid of PayPal. I clearly remember it not only being sent out in multiple emails but also in the help section of eBay. They were trying to tell us we’d be saving money with the switch because there’d no longer be any PayPal fees. Meanwhile they raised the actual percentage and charge those fees on not only the product itself but any shipping or taxes as well.

eBay acted like dropping PayPal was doing us all a favor. Calling B.S on that.

I’m used to the delay with the funds being deposited but miss those days of having it instantly. It’s the biggest place for comics so I stick around.
