Yeah it seems strange.
Mrs M_V has been selling some clothes on Vinted and on there it’s the buyer that pays the fee so I presumed this was how eBay was going but no, it really seems like no fee at all.
It’s only for private sellers though right? Maybe it’s not that auctions have become a small part of the business, maybe it’s that private selling full stop is now such a small part?
More private sellers listing things = more visits to the site = more sales for the fee paying business sellers = more profit for eBay?

I list everything as BIN. I sold about £400 worth this weekend and wasn't charged a penny in fees.
As I see it, for private sellers you'll only be charged fees on motor vehicles.
For sellers it's a great move but I don't get how they can just dump a multi-million pound revenue stream just to 'compete' with far smaller competitors...
