eBay announced major changes overnight, including a significant change to the BIN Fixed-Price format. The company created special fees for fixed-price listings in the media category and extended the duration from 7 days standard to 30 days.
Insertion Fees will be 15 cents for Fixed Price listings in Books, Music, DVDs & Movies and Video Games categories. It is also running a special promotion starting September 16 and running through the end of the year in which listing fees will be lowered to 5 cents when sellers use pre-filled item information (also called, Catalog).
The Final Value Fees (FVFs) for the media category will also be different than other categories in the BIN fixed-price format, with three tranches consisting of 15 percent for items between $1 - $50; 5 percent for the second tranche up to $1,000; and 2 percent for the third tranche for items over $1,000.01.
Sellers may now also list multiple quantities of the same item for a single 15-cent listing fee; previously, multiple quantities resulted in higher listing fees.
