Online retailer eBay scraps fees for private sellers in UK
In latest response to rivals such as Depop and Vinted, users now only pay transaction fees on sales of vehicles.
Online retailer eBay has scrapped fees for private sellers across almost all of its categories as it attempts to keep fast-growing rivals such as Depop and Vinted at arm’s length.
The move means eBay’s UK sellers no longer have to pay transaction fees, except for cars, motorcycles and other vehicles.
The online retailer is struggling to compete with market capitalisation and dominance of Amazon and the surge of Vinted and gumtree. As well as having to compete with the Facebook marketplace in the second hand market.
