From 10 September all store listings will have increased exposure as they will appear within the main eBay search results.  This will provide sellers with increased exposure on search results pages, however eBay is also introducing monthly store fees, ranging from $19.95 to $499 per month.

eBay Australia managing director Deborah Sharkey said that 50 per cent of eBay’s global sales were now fixed price and that, in the March quarter, such sales grew by 12 per cent globally while auction sales declined.

“Buyers are telling us that they want the same convenience and immediacy of payment on eBay as they get in their favourite department store,” she said.
