I have been an okay client for many years and usually buy not really sell,I recently went into a partnership with a friend and we purchased an inventory from a store that went out of business. I posted many of the items on okay trying to take advantage of the "FREE" insertion promotions. I sold 2 items almost immediately and was in shock when I went over my account summary as okay had taken 9% of my final sale price and a "SHIPPING" fee was even charged for any item that was not listed as "FREE SHIPPING". Shipping can be expensive and why should okay chargea FEE for shipping when they have absolutely nothing to do with shipping!I ended up making 1.00 dollar on a watch I sold while okay made 7.40 plus a.45 cents shipping fee so they made 7.85 on this transaction. I actually LOST money on the other item!!I felt socheated as the final value fees as well as the shipping fees are NOT disclosed upfront,it is not fair! All fees should be disclosed UPFRONT,I dont care if your gemission is 50% but I have the right to know that before I do business with you so I may choose otherwise if I want to.
I felt so violated that I immediately went on okay and removed every item thatI had for sale,Its disgraceful,a shame, I used to love okay and now I hate it with a passion,I dont know how they think a merchant can make money when okay is charging these high fees,we have to gepete with other sellers and keep are prices low so the item will sell and okayscoops in and takes the little bit ofprofit that you managed to make with their high FEES.Becareful sellers okay is hitting you with 9% gemission fees and shipping fees.
