Preview Final Price?

[selective_distribution]

Like everyone else I am really struggling with the the pricing of items, in particular the final price that the buyer will see. I have just been listing some items and have noted that if I want to achieve a viable price of say £15.99 than I have to mess about adjusting the Ebay price before the so called `Easy Shipping` (that`s a laugh!), to get to a price that will finally display the price of £15.99. (£14.87 I think?). I should say that I have decided to pay the fees myself and regard it as a selling fee, as in the good old day`s. I have noted that when I have finished my listing of an item, if I then go to look at my `Preview`, then the price displayed is the price WITHOUT the buyer fees! Surely it would not be beyond the comprehension of Ebay to have the Preview page display the FINAL price that the buyer will see, and so make the Preview a useful tool for ensuring that you have the price correct.

Using seller hub, I get exactly that. See attached.

I've noticed if you click on 'view your listing', straight after listing an item, it appears without the buyer fee. It seems to take a few minutes for the live listing to update to the total price.

For those of us that prefer prices ending in 99p, or round pounds etc, the new 'fee calculator' on the listing page does make it easier to achieve this. It was even easier before the buyer fee was introduced...!

I use 'old-fashioned' Ebay and not seller hub and I get the same as you when I list a new item.

It's a relatively new and very useful addition which means you can adjust prices and see instantly what the buyer will see.

There is no need to even go to the preview page.

Sorry if I am a bit stupid, but don`t you have to mess about for ages adjusting (in your example), the price of £18.61 until you can get it to actually display your final selling price of £19.99? It would be very useful to have a table of prices showing both price before seller fee, and the final desired price, for example....

10.20 = 10.99.

14.87 = 15.99.

25.31 = 27.00.

Don`t come at me if these are wrong!

Thank you for taking time to post an example.

No, you don't. See the screenshot in post #2. It's up to you when listing, whether you input the amount you want to receive, or the amount you want the buyer to pay.

Both figures will then be displayed to you, whichever box you complete.

[jckl1957]

To add to that good answer - generally, if I make an adjustment, it will be 1p.

It is much less fiddly.

Instant and clear.

It works!  (Do I seem surprised?)

From your example it sounds like you may be typing in the left hand box, just double checking you have tried typing £19.99 in the 'buyer pays' box as that should give you the result you're looking for? Just note that there are some buyer prices that you cannot achieve and the form will tell you they have rounded the number down.

Wow! Can`t believe that I missed that! I did not realize that it worked the other way around also. I think that the fact that you have to enter a figure BEFORE the option comes up, is why I thought that the first price box was where you have to adjust the price. I salute you Sir! Thank you so much.

Please see my reply to `Vinylscott`. This applies to you also. Your are correct that I had missed the fact that price can be adjusted in the `buyer pays` box. Thank you.
