Pictures Fee Changes 2009 |
We are excited to announce that we are making eBay individual pictures, Picture Pack and Gallery Plus free for items listed in the following categories—Collectibles, Art, Pottery & Glass, and Antiques. We are committed to the success of our sellers and to continually improving the overall experience for all of our customers—both buyers and sellers.
The following changes will be applicable to listings on www.ebay.com. All pricing changes will be effective as of February 18, 2009.
We are committed to providing a great experience to our users. Buyers in these categories have asked for more photos to give them more information about listed items, and for a better visual experience. We hope that free photos will help sellers give buyers what they need to make a decision, lower buyer questions, and increase seller sales. All new fees are effective as of 12:00:01 am (midnight) PST on February 18, 2009. The free Pictures, Picture Pack and Gallery Plus pricing is applicable to new listings that start on or after midnight February 18, 2009. The following categories will receive the new Picture pricing: Collectibles, Art, Antiques and Pottery & Glass. These pricing changes do not apply to other categories at present. We're constantly reviewing the needs of our diverse categories and will continue to do so. All formats - Auction-style, Fixed Price (all durations), Store Inventory and Classified Ads are included. This is change is applicable to the US site (www.ebay.com) only. No, this is a permanent fee change for the categories included. We are currently working on adding new options for sellers who manage their pictures on external servers. We're also developing new visual tools that will leverage eBay-hosted photos and give users even more functionality when browsing. Stay tuned for more announcements in the near future. Yes, URLs linking to pictures on external web servers are still allowed on the site, there is no change to that functionality. https://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/pictures.html. |
