Things have got a bit hectic on the Forums of eBay UK of late. Following on from my Blog of yesterday, it would appear that the Feedback system, initially, has not gone down very well. Not surprising really. With just 1 Neutral Feedback in a 12 month selling period now effecting a Sellers overall percentage score, gone are the days where a long term established Seller can easily hang on to a 100% / 99.9% reputation.
Perhaps this is just a settling in period. A time where what is considered a good Feedback score is totally reevaluated.
It's not all bad news however.
Maybe to placate this inevitable Seller backlash, eBay UK have announced a FREE Gallery promotion. The Gallery Picture upgrade feature usually costs 15p and is the small picture you see beside each listing during a main search. Naturally Auctions with Gallery pictures get a lot more interest and in turn better sales.
As a quick example of the savings, a Seller who lists 1,000 items a month will save themselves £150. Not bad! Although members in the US have enjoyed a FREE gallery as a regular option anyway. Still... it's important to focus on the positives and any reduction in costs must be good for business. It will be interesting to see the reaction in the US when the new Feedback system is rolled out there.
Remember, FREE Gallery in on eBay UK runs from 19 May until 30 September. For the full announcement, please click the link below.
