NEW GALLERY PKG 4 Canadians

Actually many of us Canadians on the boards think that it is a waste of $50
Not too many of us could make it worthwhile. It's great for high volume sellers that use gallery already - but not for the rest of us.

I read on the Stores Board and a couple of other selling forums that many US sellers are filing civil suits over this issue.

I'd have to think long and hard bout giving 50.00 to eBay..that's alot of money in the long run for smaller sellers. (one of which I am, too)

If memory serves me, weren't you selling well on Wagglepop?

I didn't have much luck on WP and wish it would've done well. At least eBay would've had some competition. I only had two sales. I'm getting more sales from my ecrater stores than anywhere else I've got items up and running.

I've been thinking of doing Overstock Auctions again for the holidays. Persons I know that sell there are having some luck.

I think even if they offered that in the States that many people wouldnt take advantage of that offer. Thats a lot of money just for galleries.

I agree Rowsofclothes.

With so many stores closing on eBay US due to the fee hike...I think eBay was hoping to get more sellers using gallery.

With stores the price is pretty neglible for a gallery pic. I closed one store under another ID last year and this year..I went from over 600+ auctions in my store down to around 100. Quite a drop. And only one of the 100 is a store item that shows gallery.

Now if they put the 50.00 in installments stretched over 12 months..I might consider that. But one fell swoop of paying them? I don't have it and couldn't justify it either.

Here's an interesting blog in regards to the new package and how some sellers think this will play out.

Just an update - eBay has realized that they screwed up with this idea and cancelled it.
