    So now all listings are converted into Euros.

    What a confusing shambles for Buyers.
    References to Catalogue prices which are in sterling in listing descriptions now look out of place; rounded sterling prices become an equivalent euros price except that the euro price is now the actual price; some of the original sterling prices have been amended slightly probably due to some rounding routine.

    It is an absolute minefield of muddle.

    I am no longer uploading new listings to Delcampe.

    Wait until you sell something, Alan,

    The invoice amount is shown in sterling with a Euro conversion. God knows what happens when someone actually pays, we wait with bated breath ! :dunno:

    Surprisingly I have sold something.
    Of course postage in euros!
    Invoice looks incomprehensible to a UK buyer.
    We'll see what happens.
    I'm sure I am being 'nickle and dimed' at each stage of this process.

    I am not happy.

    Yes,

    You need to be careful not just to add your usual postage charge and be done out of 17% at today’s rate, I nearly fell into that trap.
    Will see how this works out but like you, not happy at all

    Just to know, because I have some clients in UK selling here:
    A buyer located outside the EU that buy an item from a pro seller in UK don't pay 23 £, right ?

    Thanks in advance

    I remembered the postage.

    PAYPAL payment received - sterling conversion @ 1.21.
    As expected at each stage being 'nickle & dimed'.
    Now having to check that PAYPAL reporting will pick up the euro converted receipts - tomorrow's task!

    Reluctant to open a euro account.

    Can't wait for the Mangopay nonsense and 'transfer charge'.

    At the moment I don't have a good word to say about Delcampe. :d-unhappy:

    Everything is in euros from today.

    The euro 25 Delcampe administration fee applies to purchases from Pro Sellers only (outside the EU) by EU Buyers where the purchases total less than euros 150.

    Conversely, the same charge is levied on UK Buyers purchasing from EU Sellers even though there is no current justification for such a charge.

    I think that's it.

    I have just returned to Dc for a go with some listings.

    They have really made it hard to even be bothered listing.

    I am in the UK, if someone buys an item in the EU do they get hit with the £22,50 charge ?

    I am a private non pro seller so does this affect me in any way ?

    I have £74 in my account on DC will I now get charged to take out money ?

    Do DC want me on the site ? I have almost 1000 items, (very little traffic) or am I to much bother being in the Uk.
    I tried Vendora and got this reply
    "We would like to inform you that the use of the platform is permitted only for users residing within Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and a large number of countries within the European Union."

    Any help would be great.

    The controversial Delcampe €25 administration fee only applies to Pro Sellers.
    So, that doesn't apply to you.

    The Delcampe site is now Euros only.
    So you need to price in euros.
    Any existing listings will already have been converted to euros.

    MangoPay is now euros from 3rd August and any GBP funds you held were converted at that date.

    If you withdraw to a GBP account your will now incur a bank charge of €25 or €30.

    That's it in a nutshell.
    Net, more and more complicated for Buyers and Sellers.

    Thank you for your reply

    The BOMB shell is when you withdraw.

    My £75 becomes £50 thats 33% gone, who can sell and take that hit.

    it traffic was better than EBay maybe let the pot grow but at this rate it will take me a year or more to double that amount.

    Many Thanks
