eBay Sellers: Discounted FVF (Final Value Fees) for offering free shipping!

eBay is having a special promotion going from May 23 to June 1, 2008, in order to entice sellers to offer free shipping. Of course regular eBay sellers are well aware that eBay likes free shipping because they can also charge a final value fee on the shipping and handling fees, eating away at the poor seller's already thin profit margins. Of course buyers like free shipping too, even though I'm sure most of them are not dumb enough to think that they won't pay for shipping one way or another.

So it's with that irony in mind that we present the details of this eBay sellers promotion, which includes a 15% return of the final value fees. Be sure to read all the terms and conditions and restrictions if you are interested.

We think that if eBay is honest about wanting people to offer free shipping, they should permanetly offset the final value fees for free shipping seller listings. Are you listening fee-Bay? :)
