Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice but to leave eBay and move to Folksy.
eBays new private seller policies have hit me hard, because I sell mostly items below £2 the added 75p plus 4% buyer protection fee have almost doubled my prices. On top of it I was forced to switch to recorded shipping, because otherwise I wouldn't get paid for 2 weeks.
So my 2nd hand stuff will now be sold at Vinted. And you know why? Because Vinted is transparent about their buyer protection fees. They are not hidden in the price like eBay does. And they don't sting you twice. It's just the 75p and not 4% on top.
So now I am moving all the handmade stuff to Folksy. That was all I thought in the beginning but I have now included all the yarn and I will sell the books and all the future vintage patterns there too.
All I do is pay something monthly to be able to list without restriction and I will have to pay a small percentage in fees to PayPal or Stripe.
I hope once people realise I have moved they will come and buy from me again.

Oh and eBay you suck!! 👎😡
That's not how you treat loyal members who supported you for over 23 years. I hope you suffer as badly as I have over the past couple of months.
