Now, their preferred sellers seem to be commercial organisations, who are unlikely to decide to withdraw an item.

They don't need to differentiate, they will probably just insist the fee is paid. After all they have had the expense of handing the proposed sale and listing it... They need to cover their bases. And discourage the rif-raf?

fleaBay don't want small, private sellers it seems. It seems they want to drive another major internet player out of business.

Sadly they have acquired Gumtree too so that's probably where they hope the rif-raf will sell their unwanted gadgets and trinkets.


I better empty my loft and every cupboard of stuff I've considered selling and get it done, pdq.....cos I fear you may be correct!!!

It's strange though, that if we the riff raff are now the minority, they are spending time, effort and money policing minority behaviour. If they are getting their major return from commercial sellers, why pursue the spare change? o.O
