    eBay to raise fees for private 'Buy It Now' listings

    eBay is introducing a flat 10% fee for private sellers using its "Buy It Now" fixed price listings from next month.

    The changes will affect users trying to sell all items except mobile phones sold under contract, motor vehicles and property.

    The new fees will be capped at ?40 and will be introduced on 21 July.

    The auction website says the changes will not affect small to medium-sized businesses or entrepreneurs trading professionally.

    An eBay spokesperson said: "We want to give our buyers a range of great value prices on eBay which is why both auction-style and fixed price (or buy it now) sales are integral to eBay's business.

      I think the relevant regulator needs to take a long hard look at ebay, starting with its iron like grip on payment options (namely forcing us to use their payment system), as well as their general practices with regards to how they run paypal.

      Paypal should be forced to comply with banking legislation like most other financial institutions in the UK.
