SICK BOY Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 The cost to list depends on how much you start your auction at,how many pictures you use,if you set a reserve,if you use "buy it know",ect.At the end of the auction you pay 8% of what the item sold for.If it doesn't sell you don't pay anything more then the listing fee.

bansheefreak Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 if you set up an account that is free... then when you list a item do what you want and at the end to submit you have to ok the charges so you will see what it cost before you say ya or na... if it is too much just go back and maybe take off some pics of change something...

Ducman Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 When I was selling ducati pipes it would cost about $4 to list the pipes mostly due to the high starting price, then about $12 for the fee on the ending price (around $375) and then paypal would hose me for another $10 for the incomming payment. It cost me at least $25 for every sale, an my profit on the sale price was only $200 so e-bay was taking cutting into my profit by 10% to 15%. I would never have been able so sell them without e-bay though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
