Message from eBay- Save on Insertion Fees

We're writing with some exciting news about eBay fees. Starting June 16:
Every 30 days, your first 5 Auction-style listings will have NO Insertion Fees when you list with eBay's Sell Your Item form or Simple listing form--regardless of your start price.
The first 5 listings with no Insertion Fees will have a Final Value Fee of 8.75% of the sales price or $20, whichever is lower. Additional items sold during the same 30-day period will have the same Insertion Fees and Final Value Fees as they do today.
If you are currently using an eBay tool or third-party listing solution, you can either list your first 5 Auction-style listings with the new pricing structure through eBay's Sell Your Item form or Simple listing form or continue with your current practices at the current pricing-whichever option works best for you.
This change is part of our continued effort to lower the upfront costs of selling on eBay. The 5 listings with no Insertion Fees are especially helpful for sellers who may not sell in high volume, but offer unique and hard-to-find inventory buyers expect to find on eBay. Learn more.

How To Get Negative eBay Feedback Removed

From eBay Help:
eBay may remove Feedback ratings and/or comments that meet the guidelines outlined below.
Feedback ratings and comments may be removed in the following instances:

There is a violation of the Feedback Abuse policy.
A member is unable to form a legally binding contract at the time the item ended or Feedback was left.
A member provided eBay with an email address that is invalid and could not be contacted at the time of the transaction.
A member mistakenly leaves negative or neutral Feedback intended for another member, informs eBay of the error, and has placed the same Feedback for the correct member.
If a member is suspended by eBay, negative or neutral Feedback left by that member is removed. If a member is suspended within 90 days of registration, all Feedback is removed.
eBay is provided with a valid court order requesting Feedback Removal.
A buyer fails to respond to a reminder about an unpaid item.
When the buyer's communication within the Resolution Center undermines the purpose of the unpaid item process and the eBay Feedback system.

Customs Requirements
We will remove Feedback if the listing meets the Customs Requirements below and the seller receives a negative or neutral Feedback comment which references customs delays or customs fees.
The following text, or very similar text must be included in the listing and be:
In the format below
In a font size no smaller than the majority of the other text in the item description
Prominently displayed (in the upper half of the description, free-standing, etc.)
International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
Other information a seller may wish to include:
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

Independent Feedback Review on eBay Motors
Independent Feedback Review is only available on eBay Motors and allows members to submit a Feedback comment for review by an independent reviewer. The review services are provided by professional resolution organizations with expertise in resolving automotive and other issues. These organizations are unaffiliated with eBay.
When a member requests a Feedback review, the Feedback comment left for the member filing the complaint will be reviewed by an independent reviewer for a fee. Depending on the decision by the reviewer the Feedback rating may be withdrawn. Withdrawn Feedback is not counted in Feedback scores or ratings, but the Feedback comment remains with an administrative notation from eBay.
