Reverse the 2017 eBay Spring Seller Update

  • by: Ashlee M
  • recipient: Pierre Omidyar, eBay Policy Board

This petition is calling for the current policy change to be reversed. In particular we are demanding eBay keep our selling fee discount at 20% and not reduce this to 10%. 

eBay has stated the update is to "Help sellers grow their business", however the real reason is for eBay to make more money while demanding sellers to work harder.

We demand that eBay reverse the policy change in which the Top Rated and Power Seller discount on selling fees will be reduced to 10% instead of the current 20%. 

We will not accept a 10% discount.

We demand our regular discount be applied immediately or increased.

These changes if allowed will cause eBay to lose many Top Rated Sellers and in turn could cause serious issues for eBay; including but not limited to less products, fewer Top Rated Sellers, higher prices, and less competition within the market. 

This policy change is bad for buyers and sellers - the only one who benefits from this change is eBay.

Treating sellers like slaves is not how eBay becomes competitive with Amazon and Walmart.

Dear Pierre Omidyar, eBay Policy Board,


We do not agree with the recent update to sellers for 2017.


We demand that eBay meet the following objectives;



  • The discount for Top Rated Sellers be left at the normal 20%

  • That eBay make this change immediately

  • That eBay reimburse any seller who was overcharged before the reinstatement of the normal 20% discount

  • That eBay extend the grace period to comply with 95% tracking upload to October 2017

  • That no seller will be penalized for signing this petition or otherwise voicing their concern with this policy change



Sincerely,


Your Top Rated and Power Sellers That Make eBay Work.
