eBay about to win the sneaker reselling title. . . . . . NO MORE FEES

[Hahahaha]

EBay announced today that its e-commerce platform is eliminating fees for the first time ever on any sneakers sold at $100 or more.
The promotion will apply to sellers exclusively in the North America region who are listing their products in the 'Athletic Shoes' category, removing the cost of the typical listing fee as well as the selling fee that's applied during the start and the end of the sale. According to a representative, the program will continue to be evaluated throughout the course of 2020.
Additionally, in celebration of the holidays, eBay has teamed up with Stadium Goods to sell a bevy of Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 styles dropping throughout the week below retail pricing, including the "Analog" colorway available now for $215.
The marketplace is also hosting a seven-day event that runs from Dec. 19 to Dec. 26, auctioning off some of the most coveted styles that released this year including Travis Scott x Air Jordans, Sacai x LDWaffles, Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low "MCA," and more.
"As the originator of the sneaker resale game, eBay continues to be a top source for emerging and collectible styles, and with high demand, we want our sellers and buyers to get in on the action,” said Jeff Chan, eBay's Head of Men’s Footwear and Apparel. “For our community of diehard sneakerheads, eliminating selling fees allows them to turn their kicks into more cash to fund future purchases, and results in a more robust sneaker inventory for shoppers everywhere.”

A win-win for consumers and sellers.

Consumers still have to pay tax. Sellers are still going to be on IG and Twitter.

Tax is a inevitable inconvenience. Avoiding it can hurt you, Ask Wesley Snipes.

How much faith you gonna put on ig and Twitter, that the mf'er won't deliver as promise and run off with your money.

That's what PayPal and meetups are for. I don't buy anything with a gift invoice.

That's one aspect of the game I would never venture down. More power to you though.
Hope you keep the Cal on you.

I don't meetup either, but that's how people are getting around selling on the sites.

 

[Grine]

Y’all still meeting up in 2019?

actually naw, eBay works really well with google in da sense that if you title your auction accurately and include da style number, if someone randomly googles a pair of shoes they're interested in and you're selling em, they'll pop up in da results.

I aware of that but c'mon son.
You really think Billy from whiteplains gonna come to pink houses to meet tyrek and his crew for a easy transaction?

 

[cedric ceballos]

About to try listing some jerseys and m&n stuff I currently have on there under athletic shoes and see what happens when they sell.

 

[wallyhopp]

They offered me $15-$20 off anything that sold over $100 awhile back. They must be getting desperate.

They take about 10%. How are they going to be making money now?


I also wouldn't trust the average buyer for items above $100. eBay has been anti seller for years. Very little recourse for someone saying you sold them fakes or not as described.

Maybe I'm just out of the game too long. I didn't realize GOAT was that popular

eBay ends sneaker seller fees for shoes sold at $100 or more

The move should help the site grow its selection of rare sneaker styles.

Too many people over spending on garbage still I see

 

[shadynine]

they want that old thang back. eBay said pull all them kicks off SX and bring em back here like you used to

 

[theknowledgeableprofessor]

good move.

I still like selling on eBay more than any other platform

 

[townbidness]

They still getting that paypal fee $$

 

[ninjahood]

yup, stock X & GOAT pulled off under their sleeping noses.

 

[wallyhopp]

They still getting that paypal fee $$

Watch that increase now. Lol.

 

[wallyhopp]

Apparently there's a coupon code active right now. $100 off any single $300 pair of 'shoes'. Code is PAIREDUP. It works on an item I threw in my cart. I'll never drop $200 on a pair so it is what it is.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

Too many people be filing complaints in eBay to try to scam sellers lying that the shoes never came and other ****. I don’t trust eBay

 

[jaysonny3]

Sellers are gonna get scammed by The buyers returning a fake pair and or person states the shoe is fake (when you Bought the shoe at FNL etc) with claim. Case will always go to the buyer. This wastes the sellers time. There should be like a receiving contract for the buyer signing a statement that the item received was examined by buyer and noted to be authentic after inspection. After signing said statement buyer wont be able to charge back / place a claim on the shoe; the selling process ends there / no need to worry about future claims or false claims.

 

[wallyhopp]

^yeah

Shipping shoes to a middleman is basically what goat and stockx are, right? They take the burden of proof that the items are legit. And they take the fees associated with consignment.

Not sure if saving 10% is worth it. You may have ten great transactions. But that first scammer is right around the corner.

Never have to worry about a buyer trying to pull a scam

 

[fluid hips]

I used to make a killing selling shoes on eBay. Not even limited. Talking GRs. Anyway, be cautious of selling expensive things on eBay. Their policies favor the buyer and not the seller. Too many horror stories of people shipping a brick in a box and stating they got fakes. eBay sides with the buyer and gives them a refund.

eBay is the wild wild west now. Some mofo sold me "genuine" Toyota spark plugs back in February. The seller had 10,000+ sold items and 99% rating. Three months later my engine starts misfiring. Come to find out the spark plugs were Chinese counterfeit. It was packaged and stamped to look like OEM. Box and everything.

Reported dude and got a refund but eBay is still letting him sell counterfeits to this day. They don't care as long as they get their fee.

 

[Jaunt]

**** eBay, they never side with the seller. If you haven’t gotten scammed yet, it’s only a matter of time. I’ll live with the 10% fees with StockX & GOAT.
