It just shows you that competition is a good thing. If it weren't for Vinted, there would be no such offers from Ebay. Competition creates pressure which leads to innovation and consumer spending. There's got to be a what's in it for me and everyone
Dude, I’m 50 and have been fairly successful in my life. I got into your channel as I was intrigued to see how the young-uns do. HUGE respect fella - you obviously have a professional producer now - and what a great call- life changing dude and I’m not a bot or associated to this production company - congrats fella - hard work is going to pay off
This is a stepping stone to getting rid of fees altogether. They did the same for private sellers a few months back. The no fees for private sellers was only advertised as a 2-month long offer, after which they scrapped fees first for clothing then altogether for all items for private sellers. I've heard rumours about a buyer protection fee (similar to vinted) being introduced by ebay in early 2025. Looks like they're gonna follow the vinted model. As a reseller, the no fees on vinted is a huge deal and the biggest reason why I've started selling more on there. So ebay would be wise to follow suit and I think they will
People are only gonna pay the same total overall (i.e. market value) anyway, doesn’t matter how it’s packaged up. Sellers will still pay fees even if they’re “hidden” in the “discounts” we then have to give in the form of slightly lower prices to accommodate the buyer fees 🤷🏻♂️
I fell below standard after my husband passed trying to crawl out from this for months and eBay hides all my items zero views 😢and no option for me to opt in to promotion 😢15 years on eBay they have no mercy !
Ebay mention both "apparel" and "clothing" they're not the same but subtly different, "apparel" is usually used to include footwear and accessories - so does it mean these will be free of fees as well? The T & Cs are not clear on this.
Your Enthusiam is Fantastic and the fututre speculations are great. I am sure your voice on You Tube makes a difference, as Ebay do creepily watch sellers on You tube. All the best from Suffolk:)
Good evening George, Thanks for the latest information. Once you get Vinted Pro up and running, and used to it, a video on cross listing for 2024 would be hugely welcome! Cant wait to have the freedom of selling on multiple platforms again! Cheers
The competition commission can only control UK based companies so if based in USA and they said OK. It would happen. As companies can be based anywhere and attract customers from anywhere.
i know this is a reaction, likely to soften the blow for fake private sellers being forced to business accounts, but i do hope its a trail and doesnt end in december we will enjoy this run and all be sad when it comes to an end
We should never under estimate Ebay. Cant stand the changes but they are still in the game. Wish i sold clothes. Maybe it will be another category next, like they used to.
I've read Vinted Pro is paused to new applications the last couple of days due to the NI problem and it being rushed out - anyone know if it's working again?
Its no news at all Most businesses sellers sell new items and Its only clothing. Might as well be, free to list moon dust. Your right as soon as vinted pro gos live in the U.K.. its goodbye eBay. Too greedy for to long.
@@themasks-directshow9472 almost all business sellers I know of sell in used categories, I would imagine there are a scarce few who only sell new. Also Vinted pro IS live in the UK
@@johnmcvicker1748 We have been trying for a few days. It’s still coming up with an error message saying not available in the UK . I have screenshot it and forward it to Vinted, who tell me they’re working on it. Might be due to the volume of people trying to get on there . They said it went live on the 2nd of October.
Not exactly exciting news? 90% of business sellers on eBay don’t sell pre loved clothes, very poor comeback from EBay to be honest. Good for you tho mate. 😂
Seems like its invite only, I havnt sold clothing for over a year and less than 20 items in 20 years and no email. Can anyone post the link?, curious to see if it works.
@@RetroReselling Yeah that makes sense, they usually dont work but maybe I'll contact them and ask. Now curious to see if they do any other categories. Games and music for example.
@@davidbolam7962 No Problem if they want to add it as an option, but i would much prefer to be in control of my own postage options when selling. The preset options on Vinted often don’t even cover the postage weights and sizes i need to use.
@@RetroReselling true that’s a very fair point but they never changed/innovated fast enough nor did they buy out the competition early enough and some of those were in bad debt and had bad business plans. eBay is adapting and innovating and squeezing hard and buying out competition. eBay has a plan to be/remain the number one selling and buying platform and data processor. For good or bad (and I think good for now) it’s still ahead.
@@RetroReselling You're right George. As a seller, I would prefer to sell my items on vinted because of no fees and how easy transactions are what with pre-generated labels, no shipping fee for sellers etc. Also as a buyer I think Vinted is just an easier more straightforward process. Having said that, yes I do sell way more on ebay as there are more buyers. But Vinted will slowly start to edge closer
Depop and vinted are no competition for ebay. This has nothing to do with them. This is all about regulations and eBay positioning itself as the top buying platform in competition with Amazon and stay above board with regulatory red tape. Ebay is already the top selling platform especially with resellers and second hand goods.
Yeah Ricky pipped you to the post but in your defence you probably had the fire brigade round to douse your hands of fire 🔥 from rubbing them together over this news 😂😂😂😂

how has this guy only got 30k subs, clearly the best reselling channel out of the hundreds out there!
Now we need free electricity.
According to Nikola Tesla that is possible. Free or close to free.
Golden rule of eBay today: Look elsewhere, you'll find it for cheaper.

All this ebay stuff and resellers and influencers clashing is like a bad episode of Eastenders 😅😂
Love it!! Haha
I’d rather watch resellers and influencers than Eastenders! Learned more from these guys than shite on TV
Drama queen's 😅😅
I fell below standard after my husband passed trying to crawl out from this for months and eBay hides all my items zero views 😢and no option for me to opt in to promotion 😢15 years on eBay they have no mercy !
Vinted sponsoring big brother too, all this cake out with ebay day before launch of bb
Well that's all well and good if you sell clothes.....
Get learning clothing! Never too late to start
Looking very Steve Irwin with that shirt George
If Ebay bring in that buyers pay Postage Protection, they need to honour that. Vinted know how to do this well.
Ebay mention both "apparel" and "clothing" they're not the same but subtly different, "apparel" is usually used to include footwear and accessories - so does it mean these will be free of fees as well? The T & Cs are not clear on this.
Can I ask how you work out the shipping fees on your ebay profile? Do you just use ebay's calculated shipping tool or have your own methods?
Vinted is so much easier and browsing is so much more user friendly which is why so many people use it to get rid of old clothes unlike ebay
Your Enthusiam is Fantastic and the fututre speculations are great. I am sure your voice on You Tube makes a difference, as Ebay do creepily watch sellers on You tube. All the best from Suffolk:)
Maybe a Google fee structure where ebay is the search engine and if you want to be at the top of the search - you pay to play the promotion fees

would be much better for business sellers if they upped the membership cost and removed fees
What size is the Levi chore jacket, and where/when is it listed?
Funny how they pick the category that is dwindling this time of year, but it's better than the slap in the face we've been getting for years now
Question George...... Do your arms belong to Zippy off Rainbow?
We should never under estimate Ebay. Cant stand the changes but they are still in the game. Wish i sold clothes. Maybe it will be another category next, like they used to.
My every advert is vinted on UA-cam it seems 😂 like vinted mate I’m in ya app 57 times a day 😂😂😂
I've read Vinted Pro is paused to new applications the last couple of days due to the NI problem and it being rushed out - anyone know if it's working again?
Just noticed - in the terms it says it excludes any item not created ON the Ebay site - so that may exclude Zipsale cross lists?!
This is like Boy George vs Georgie Boy 🤯😅
🤣🤣
Hi George, good news, there are still fees though as I presume you use promoted listings ?
If I choose to promote them yes 👍🏻
No message from ebay, can't see the offer to opt into ?
I had the same. Check your email inbox as mine was there.
@@greeny1080 hopefully get it tomorrow
Cheers for updates George i hear there looking for a new news reporter to report new news. 💯🤜🏼

hey mate quick question what are the measuments of your stock shed?
Can anyone share the opt-in link please? I didn't get invited for free clothing on eBay as a business seller :(
Existing listings or just newly listed from today. ?
Ok I should have watched all before commenting
Doesnt help people that dont sell clothes though
Start selling them!
@@RetroReselling Not sure they will fit in with the 1500 autographs i have for sale!
hi have you tried vinterior?
Why don’t you set up a selling platform
Don’t forget EBAY live is coming soon.
I was forced to upgrade to a business account this year and got no fees on anything until 31st Dec!
Still charge for anything under coins for some reason? That includes bullion too.
@johnlawrencedeanjd How many items did you have listed before they caught you out? ;-)
Sweet, nice one dude, in fact, what you doing here on UA-cam....Get listing man ha ha
Did anyone else received same message from ebay? I never got it...

Let’s get real. eBay was, is and for the foreseeable future will be the top platform in the selling/reselling world.
Yahoo though that about email, Nokia thought that about mobiles, Blockbuster thought that about video rental.... 👀

Does Vinted let you sell anything other than clothes? As that is what tge TV adverts imply?

Vinted has almost the same amount of active users in the UK as eBay. Its a lot closer than you might think
