eBay UK has announced that it will be abolishing all selling fees on fashion from the end of the month, in a bid to entice more sellers to its platform..
The move comes as eBay faces increasing competition from online marketplaces such as Amazon and Etsy, which have been eating into its market share. In the UK, eBay’s share of the online retail market has fallen from 15% in 2015 to 11% in 2018..
eBay hopes that by abolishing selling fees on fashion, it will be able to attract more sellers to its platform and increase its market share. The company believes that the move will be particularly appealing to small businesses and individual sellers who are looking to sell their unwanted clothes or start a new fashion business..
