Man I got killed with a couple of sales, 2.50 on $10.00? I wrote these Idiots telling them that my fees are doubled and maybe they are having some kind of problem they never returned an email telling me that they were going to raise the fees?

OMG 2.50 on a $10.00 Item They got balls what a bunch of thieves They never notified me of any kind of change they just Raised the prices? without getting people to fix store prices,

That's worse then Ebay fees at least with ebay I only pay 15% Plus i get a 20% Discount on my FVF every month. Ioffer is now like 25% on a sale of $9.99

I guess it's good for the other thieves That sell fakes and Illegal Copies of movies on Ioffer.

I never bought anything from ioffer because that place is such a SCAM!

Goodbye Ioffer forever!!! :evil:

Yep! ioffer must not be ran by smart people...they have taken away the reason for leaving eBay, the way they have their fees for low-priced items, like up to $9.99:

Cleverly, they show a low fee ($0.75*) in general, but it has an asterix next to it, with a Learn More link:

That's where the ugly truth is:

* Clothing & Accessories
* Movies & Television
* Jewelry & Watches
* Miscellaneous

Transaction Amount [b](with shipping) Final Value Fee (FVF)
Up to $4.99 $1.00

$5.00 to $9.99 $1.50

$10.00 to $24.99 $2.50

$25.00-$99.99 10% of the final sale price

$100.00-$1499.99 $10.00 + 5.0% of the final sale price over $100.00

Given the fact that most buyers pay with Paypal or Google checkout, this adds (2.9% +0.30) to each transaction's total amount, and even more if it is from another country.

So I already created a new account on Bonanzle, and planning for ecrater.com too. Their listings are showing more and more in simple Google searches, so that's good.

Without us, the sites like eBay and ioffer are nothing.
:psulove:

I have a little more time to post now, so to continue:

iOffer.com adds the Shipping Fee to the sale price, calling the sum Final Sale Price.

So the $9.99 limit for Final Sale Price cannot really be maintained, this way, they get your item to the $10.00 and up tier, for the higher $2.50 fee.

This makes iOffer's fees higher than eBay's, because eBay does not include Shipping Fee.

Sneaky, greedy, and soon to be a stranger to me :evil:

I am still wondering why reputable people are selling on Ioffer when there are better options available.

Ioffer is banned form google products with highest fees.

Ecrater don't have any fees, bonanzle very low fvf (but a ton of features to deserve it) and both feed to google products.

I think more sellers will dump Ioffer due to their high fees,all the fakes,drugs etc.

The rates were published briefly yesterday in some of the clubs and guess what? Right, they deleted the post.

I am just appalled that they don't allow discussion. Censorship at its finest.

I answered a community question yesterday with facts regarding non compliance with google and a rate comparison to ebay. just stated the facts...no comments just info.

my comments were removed. any comment other than a rah rah cheer is removed from their forums, even if its a quote from their own faq's.

somebody tell me why the government doesnt shut them down given all the fakes and knockoffs they sell.

Apparently they read PSU. They suspended me after reading these comments.

It's a good thing though. I had already put the store on vacation, on my way out and far away from them.
