fees

[richierich61]

i dont undersand how people can make money on ebay selling cheap stuff with the fees involved??

a typical example i list an item for 99p  insertion fee 35p

it sells for £1.99 final value fee 20p

final value fee on postage cost of £1.50 =15p

and then 32p paypal fee 

in sumary 

total fees are 35p +20p +15p +32p £1.02 

so unless i charge more for postage i make 87p

and ive got to use tape wrapping etc and go to post office 

i guess ive answered my own question dont list cheap items on feebay

just to point out it clearly states in the listing everything will be listed

also clearly states the item for sale is etc etc

First.....not many people actually pay insertion fees these days,,,,,stick to 20 as a private seller & there are no fees for basic listings

BUT

As you said....listing for 99p is a complete waste of time & money & likely to cost you more than you get
