Free Photos from eBay

collectors, art and truly rare


overjoyed by the announcement that ebay has now made the second and subsequent photos free in select categories, ebay sellers start torush back thinking oh wow i have never had the option of a free photo before, now I can spend even more time on a ad so that ebay can collect more money from me. Since learning that the pass in rate is gigher than 60% and that ebay with paypal take close on 60% in fees
and for those who have not realised this is higher than any other auctioneer commission and higher than the highest tax bracket and for ebay it kicks in right at the very beginning so there is no tax free threshold on ebay.



Candence daugherty ran the experiment and found that after her time was taken into account, the cost of the original items and the paypal fees and ebay fees then the hourly rate was reduced to just $2.76. this is american money so for those in australia this is equivilent to $4 per hour....

The Truth


Why does ebay not tell the sellers that it is possible to have their second and subsequent photos free for as long as services such as photobucket.com have been around. Are there truly so many new ebay sellers that they are no aware of these services. Perhaps this was the reason why ebay banned ebooks 18 month ago, to keep people ignorant of the alternatives to ebay and the higher charges.
