General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Any info out there on how they actually plan on making money going forwards?

The article talks about other platforms charging a fee to buyers instead but mentions nothing about eBay introducing this.

Are they really making enough from ads on the site and vehicles to replace the lost revenue?

Previously you got 10,000 free listings a month on private seller accounts, now it's 300. Which is plenty for actual private sellers, but businesses operating as private sellers will have to start paying for their listings

That makes a lot of sense, I hadn't considered that business sellers would still be charged.
