On October 1, 2024, eBay UK introduced a new fee structure aimed at enhancing the selling experience for both private and business sellers.
Key changes include the elimination of transaction fees for private sellers, a strategy inspired by a successful trial in Germany.
This shift is intended to boost seller participation and attract more buyers to the platform.
For business sellers, eBay has rolled out several benefits, such as better fraud protection, personalized support through Seller Clinics, and an updated Seller Hub for easier management.
Additionally, private sellers will now have their earnings deposited directly into an eBay balance, simplifying transactions.
