eBay Uk – Big Changes For The Better?

eBay Uk  have announced a few big changes that will come into effect on September 23rd. They are ending the Shop Inventory Format so the only fixed price listing format available for sellers will be Buy It Now.
You are still able to have a shop in one of three categories, Basic, Featured or Anchor. There are significant monthly price increases for each category of shop-Basic £14.99- Featured £49.99- Anchor £349.99- but the incentives are massive reductions in listing fees for each category ranging from 20p per listing (10p in the Media category)for the Basic shop, 5p per listing for the Featured shop and 1p per listing in the Anchor shop! Also, the best part of the new changes for me is that any listings that you have in your shop will have full visibility in the main search results!
I must admit, I was a little bit sceptical about the changes at first but having thought about the incentives and made a few quick calculations, the new shop subscriptions will suit me down to the ground!
