Motorcycle selling fees.

shortysper0 — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 13:31:08 GMT

What are the total fees to sell a motorcycle, or vehicle I guess. I read on here that is £10 to list and 1% up to £35? Is that correct for a fixed price? Where can I find a better explanation of it. The chart they supply can't be right at that price?

that is correct,

when you list in the motors category the basic listing fee is £10 and you pay this even if the vehicle doesn't sell,

if it sells you are charged a 1% final value fee, but there is a minimum charge of £20,

so if it sells for less than £2,000 you are still charged £20

there is also a £35 cap, so if it sells for more than ££3,500 you are only charged £35

''The chart they supply can't be right at that price?''

Canada based/registered ?? ... and this is the UK site so the listing and selling fees on your home site will certainly be different >

Canadian site fees ('chart') can be found here > https://pages.ebay.ca/seller-centre/

For info. UK site Vehicle fees are here > https://sellercentre.ebay.co.uk/private/what-fees-youll-pay#motors

@shortysper0

• Due to the entirely different pricing structure for vehicle sales these are not included in your monthly fee listing allowance OR free listing promotional offers
•
•
• The fees for selling a vehicle can be quite high & are charged in most cases even if the vehicle does not sell as they are made up of two parts
•
• The first are listing fees
•
• The minimum basic listing fee is £10
• There is also a fee of £2.99 if you add a Buy Now price
• There is a fee of £7.99 is you add a reserve
•
•
• The second are final value or sales commision fees if the vehicle sells
•
• These fees are 1% of the sale price (minimum fee £20 max £35)
•
•
• It is important to note that you may not include any contact details in your listings nor can you supply these at any time until after a listing has ended with a buyer........there is no option on eBay to view before committing to buy........
•
• It is also worth noting that in the event of a non paying bidder or cancellation that the listing fees above are still charged, you can only reclaim the final value fee
•
•
•
• The exceptions to these charges & the cheapest & safest way to sell a vehicle is as a classified ad
•
• The fee for this £14.99
•
• THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL FEES IF YOU SELL
•
• The listing runs for 28 days
• You only end the listing after payment so no non paying bidder issues
• You can include contact details
• You can choose to accept less than the advertised price (ie you can accept offers)
