Hello everyone,


Following yesterday’s announcement (which is being sent out by e-mail) concerning the fee changes, we have been reading our forum, a place where we let our members discuss and share their opinion.
A lot of messages were posted, so we will not be able to answer all of your questions individually. Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions and remarks.

Best regards,

« There is no e-mail announcing these changes »

Yes there is: the e-mails are currently still being sent out. As always, when we send our newsletters to 700,000 people, this takes between 12 and 24 hours. However, the changes have been announced on the website since yesterday, in all languages.

« There is little time left before the changes go through »

We agree. Unfortunately, the risks of the period we find ourselves in, together with the need to apply these changes for the 1st of September required us to act quickly and we could not do any better. We regret this. However, we remain at the disposal of all the sellers who are in need of help for the management of their low value sales. Our team is prepared for this.

« Delcampe is trying to cover up/hide the fee changes by saying they want to improve the listings »

No, we are not. In our announcement we clearly state our financial need, which is also a real necessity.

« This is not a good way of trying to improve the listings »

We think it is… but we are aware that these changes alone won’t suffice. As can be read in our announcement, other stages will follow. We mentioned some of the ideas at the end of the newsletter, but these are not the only ones. We await your ideas in the poll.

« Delcampe is no longer a website for collectors, it has become like eBay(tm) »

This is a personal judgement and everyone is entitled to their opinion. We always have been, we are and we always will be a website for collectors. We work in an open and transparent way, we know collectibles and we meet our members at fairs. This measure we have taken, unpopular as it may be to some, should not cause people to forget what we have done and do on a daily base to help collectors.
One needs to be clear minded: low value items cost more to the website and its community than they bring in. This is simply reality and it is not at all a value judgement. Today, we can no longer afford to lose money on this level.


« These changes were made to sell more Gold subscriptions»

No, they were not, since Gold members will pay less afterwards. In the end we thus « lose » money by highlighting these subscriptions. However, we do accept the fact that this type of subscription ensures a certain fidelity from members adhering to this program.

« Delcampe has decided it no longer wants « little » sellers »

No, everyone is welcome on our website. No matter what he/she collects or where his/her interests lie.

We simply have to face an economic reality and at the same time meet the need and demands for more qualitative and « sane » listings. There are no « little » or « big » sellers for us. Everyone here is treated equally and with an equal amount of respect. I personally have a lot of friends who sell items here for less than 30-50c. I have called some of them and they understood what the common interest of this measure was. We recommend to sell low value items in batches or series.

Hello Old_postcards,


We do not want to "penalise" anybody. We charge this fee for all sales also because we need more money. It is simply and openly stated in our newsletter.

We cannot handle and improve anymore our quality of service without new financial means.


Best regards,

Sebastien Delcampe

Sebastien,

Thank you for coming on the forum and explaining the situation. Tbh, I am still in a state of shock with this development and like other sellers, I will have to rethink my position as far as low value items is concerned. Somewhere between 300 and 500 will have to be removed from here. I haven't made up my mind yet, whether to relist them here as batches or list them on another website.

I have just sent a very long email to Dimitri with the request to forward it to the person who is analyzing the poll responses. I have posted a small extract of it on this thread:

Please take the time to read my other comments.

I was about to write my opinion but Marengo1800 ha already expressed the same concerns in a better way.
I also have to cancel a lot (80%-90%) of legitimate auctions just because their RIGHT value is under 3 EUR, and surely I won't subscribe Club+ as I planned to do next September.
Delcampe seems to forget that stamp collecting is a mainly a matter of low-valued items, with a few exceptions.
It seems they also forgot we already have to pay also Moneybookers and PayPal fees.
I suspect that this move will be a boomerang for Delcampe...

Hello Sebastien,

Firstly, your newsletter with announcement arrived to my inbox several minutes ago.
I never knew that emails take 4 days to get from Europe to New Zealand.

Secondly, in my opinion, you shouldn't make such serious changes, which affect hundreds and thousands of sellers, with such a short notice.
If you start to charge $0.18 + 5% on 1st September, many people will not have time to remove cheap lots or increase the price. Thus, they will pay in fees more than lots sell for.
Every item on Delcampe priced $0.20 or less will make loss for seller. Are you prepared for flood of comlaints when users will realise that they sell for loss?
Many of them probably never even open newsletters.

I do sell many cheap items.
I mean it - I SELL them. They are not rubbish, just a lower end of collectors market.
I came to Delcampe because there is no fixed fee on this site, and %% of total sold looked really attractive and allowed to offer buyers full range of items, including cheap ones.

One of my last sales to a buyer from Germany was for 47 items, with total price $53.50 (most of them under $1 and a few higher). Delcampe fee is $2.68.
With your new system fee will be ($0.18 * 47) + 5% = $11.14.
It's more than four times higher than before!

Will I sell these items with such fees? No. It's cheaper to sell them elsewhere.
If I increase prices to absorb your fees, items will not sell (being overpriced in buyer's view).

Frankly, cheap items is the major attraction to buyers on any site. They buy expensive lots too, but attraction is ability to enjoy something for almost nothing. This is people phsychology.
If you wipe out cheap items, you will lose buyers.

If you want to get rid of rubbish, then ask members for help. Volunteers will browse categories and report to your staff any seller who lists multiplies of the same cheap common stamp in "good used" condition. Then you can warn, or, better, financially punish offenders.
Introduce "Delcampe fines" - this will help you financially, and clean the site.

If you need more income, it's better to increase your fees to 7% or even 10% of sale price, with no fixed fee. This is much more fair system, which still allows to sell cheap items.

I'm shocked by your decision...

This post makes PERFECT SENSE TO ME, so when you read it Seb, it must make perfect sense TO YOU ALSO!

Ditto to all the above posts !

I also sell some lower priced items.

The fees that Delcampe are wanting/going to introduce are for items that sell...
SELL ... if it does not sell then the fee will not be paid and the so called junk/rubbish items will not be charged the fee and those sellers will not pay the fee anyway, and the items will sit online taking up space.

I came to Delcampe to get away from up-priced listing fees for low priced items for every x amount of days they are online.

But one way that Delcampe could get more finance from everyone who lists regardless if it is junk or not is to charge a one off low listing price on everything.... eg 5 cents when it is first listed.

That way ALL sellers will pay regardless of it selling or not.

Good luck with any decisions that Delcampe and all users of Delcampe make.

"Everyone here is treated equally and with an equal amount of respect"

This is currently true but once the changes are implemented it will be a big lie

Now the commision on a 50p item and a £100 item is more or less the same on a pro rata basis. Once these changes have been implemented this will not be the case and sellers of low price items will be treated differently.

By all means do this but please don't talk to us though we are stupid.

Hi Seb & Crew,

This is a move that..painful as it is for some..needed to be made.

The Biggest complaint about Delcampe on Auctionbytes and other online forums is the sheer amount of low end "stuff" that over whelms the so called "better" stuff.

In the long run this will be a good improvement for the overall Quality of the site.

It should also help in site response times and such I would think.

I especially like that You are upfront about the need for more cash to better service the site.

Yes I will have to remove a few 100 items off of my listings on Delcampe because of this change...and then I will replace them with better ones.

I can put my cheaper stuff on sites like Webstore, Boocoo , Bidstart & Ecrater were quality is not an issue or concern.

In the long run I think this will help single out Delcampe in a positive manner from other online selling platforms for buyers.

For sellers who sell on the low end as well as the high.., this move will require some adjustments on our part. I can still service my beginning collectors on other selling points.

Stefano - owner - SCVIEW

"We recommend to sell low value items in batches or series. "

This means that for any collector trying to complete sets or get inexpensive odd values, then they are going to have to buy large mixed "dog's dinner" lots in order to get the couple of values they need. This is completely against what Delcampe has stood for as regards collectors.

Sorry, but I will not be bidding on batched lots in order to get one or two cheap items. This is a stupid idea and does not serve the interests of collectors.

Has anyone defined what a 'low value' item is?

As I am in the UK, I am basing it in GBP... would items being sold at £1 fall into the category of what Delcampe want to get rid of?

A reply from Delcampe management on this one, would be greatly appreciated.

No..this is a great Idea that should have been made long ago.

If sellers had used the "quantity" feature on long end priced items instead of listing 100s of the same items...this step would not have been needed.

As a Buyer...this works for me.

I agree. This will be overall good for the site.

I sell long & high end stuff...I can easily move my lower end items to other venues and sell my best stuff here on Delcampe.

I also sell on Bidstart ...and...well..there is a lot of what I think is low end "mush" on that site.

The next issue is getting rid of very old overpriced stuff on Delcampe. After 6 Years..does an item really need to still be listed at it's original price?

Can we have some feature that reduces prices for us at set times for a listing?

That way, Dealers like me who are new to all the worldwide markets..and who are trying to do their best to sell items at a fair price...will sell the items that we have overpriced in ignorance over time.

There is no way I will ever know how to sell say, Belgium postcards at all the right prices.

I know that when I sell something too cheap...no one will ever tell me that I did so.

But with an automatic reduction feature..my "overpriced" stuff will sell at some point at the correct price.

I was talked into selling here by SCVIEW. I am glad I was. It is by far the best site to sell postcards on on the Internet.

But I also think sites should always being looking to improve the quality of ther items sold, improve their site , & improve their customer service.

This fee helps in two of those aspects.

On the customer service side...well... two weeks warning is a tab short. It turns this into a crisis for sellers instead of a process.

Couldn't you give more warning to sellers affected by this change?

I do understand you need more money, but I ask: is this the best way to get it?
About myself, I'd say NO.
I did over 8000 transaction in 4 years on Delcampe, but over 90% of them were under 3 EUR for value of single item; new rule will pull these items out of Delcampe.
As I mainly collect used stamps, I look for single items who are worth a few cents; if you put a minimum fee on such items that is higher than their value, I won't find them anymore on Delcampe, and I will have to buy them elsewhere (as shop price will become anyway better than online).
If I need a specific stamp, I won't buy a lot of 30 or 50.
Same for my sales: I have over 5000 auctions, but if the new rule will not change, before 31/8 I will close over 4000, and I will not group items, but the risk for a small and non-professional seller as I am is getting rid soon...
Thank you.

The Delcampe Team needs to decide what the main issue is (they probably already know): server space 'waste' with unappealing listings or more money. Then come up with a solution for that problem. The message has been drifting from clogged servers with unappealing items to we need more money -- and I know they could be linked -- but Dmitri has just posted that a new message will be coming out soon, 'softening' the blow so let's see what comes next.

(I've already removed my < $0.50 items but it was only 50-60 listings; if everybody has done that, Delcampe lost a lot of listings. I don't expect that many have removed 1,000's of listings yet--it's a lot of work!)

I agree with the changes so far, providing Delcampe doesn't go the way of the other auction site.

Delcampe is a business and it exists to make money for its owner(s). There's nothing wrong with that. I can't see any way Delcampe can make a profit out of items that cost a few pence, even if loads of them sell.

Punters on here are complaining about charges that are small in comparison to the big site. Over there, to have a shop with unlimited 'free' listings costs UK sellers £350 per month plus 10% commission. Then they have the cheek to charge excessive fees for PayPal payments and can't even give sellers decent images to showcase their products.

For those who still wish to sell low value items, bung them on ecrater or ebid then cross-sell them with a message on your Delcampe invoice.

I empathise, however, with those sellers who are unhappy with the short notice given to adjust to the new fees. That could have been done better.

OK. My initial reaction was blood boiling, eye popping fury. Both due to the nature of the changes and also the way in which it has been communicated.

As is the norm with Delcampe, and by God I wish they would have learned by now, their communciation skills are appalling. I received the email announcing the changes at 7pm today (Thursday). I immediately came to the forums to find that the announcement was originally made on Tuesday, if not earlier, and by the time the email arrived, it was inaccurate, due to the later "softening" announcement.

Having had an hour to read the announcements, consider them against my business plan and read the responses from other sellers and buyers, I am quickly thinking it will be not a major problem for me, but I can understand why it will be for others.

I have been gradually trying to increase my price point anyway to a minimum of £1 by selling through all my low value items and only listing new items at £1 plus.

Hello,


All sellers will have 4 months to adapt their selling strategy. You already chose your way to adapt, this is a good reaction.

Thanks for your opinion.
