My Selling Experiences On Ebay and Antique Fairs

Selling On Ebay How It All Started
About 9 years ago I discovered eBay and started using it to buy and sell to enhance my own collection of antiques and was spending just a couple of hours at the weekends on it.  It was really exciting waiting to see if you had won an item that you had bid on in an auction, and also just as exciting to watch people bidding on my items that I had put up for sale.

I soon became impressed with the volume and scope of items for sale. After a number of successful transactions I realised that I enjoyed trading on eBay more than my full time job and after much soul searching I decided to make it my full time occupation as I could see it was a way of making money that I enjoyed.

I then decided to focus purely on my passion for Silver and the seeds for Silver2Treasure were sown. In 2005 I created an eBay shop and became a business seller and over the coming years sales grew and I was upgraded to a Powerseller and today I am now a Top Rated Silver Powerseller.

Problem With Ebay Fee Payment

I recently had a major problem with my payment for my ebay sellers fees.  I am a top rated seller on ebay selling quality silver items through my Silver2treasure Ebay Store.  There is a fee for every item you list and then when an item sells there is the 10% sellers commission fee.  Ebay set a limit of £15.00 in fees and once you exceed this you will not be able to list any further items (but if you sell any at this time, they still take their fees).  Now I always pay my fees when they go over this limit (which I have to say is  a ridiculous amount for business sellers, as you soon eat into this very quickly).  Surely once you become an established seller, as I am, and am actually a top rated seller, this limit should be raised.
