I recently sold two guitars but the 12% Final Value Fees mean that I have undersold both items. Effectively, my experience has been that I got the money back for one and gave the other away! At the time I had free listings and thought I would get all the money paid by the buyer (as happened through Paypal). I think it is misleading to give free listings without making much clearer that ebay still charge a Final Value Fee on a sold item. I would like ebay to refund me some of the £98-odd they took as a gesture of good will.
If you paid £100 odd in fees and sold two guitars for £800 odd you are still left with £700 which doesn't seem bad. As others tell you you got free listings [80p odd perhaps] not free selling [which is not a promotion that eBay seems to offer
