Ebay Seller Fees?

[mattscar]

I just received a monthly invoice from ebay after selling a $500 Fender Bass And a $600 Jackson RR5. And it was over $90!

So much money I lost! I made 0 profit. With packaging and shipping everything! I made NOTHING!

I had no idea they take 9% of how much you sold the item for and you had to pay that amount. If I had known that I would have just used craigslist!

Thank God I didn't sell my Rickenbacker 4003 over on ebay!

I am sorry I am just venting and times are pretty tough right now but to me $90 is a lot of hard work. I am never selling in Ebay Again.

It's not 9%. Read the site: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fvf.html

The maximum final value fee for auction-style listings is $50. For example, if you sell an item for $1,000, you’ll pay only $50, even though 9% of $1,000 is $90.

Here's an example of a final value fee calculation for a fixed-price listing:

1. You sell an item in the Electronics category for $1,500.00.
2. On the first $50.00 you pay 8%, which is $4.00.
3. On the next $950.00, you pay 5%, which is $47.50.
4. On the remaining $500.00, you pay 2%, which is $10.00.
5. Your final value fee is $61.50 ($4.00 + $47.50 + $10.00).

Thats kind of confusing

That's not uncommon.

I hope you didn't buy these products to just try to flip them. If you did there are better venues, like Craigslist.

the only time i've ever sold anything was this rare tupac poster, this kid won and never paid for it, he said he needed more time but i never heard from him. i had to pay $12 bucks for an item that was sold but never paid for.

Well you could have taken action against the seller with Ebay. But when it comes to selling on Ebay the buyer is almost ALWAY RIGHT, as far as Pay Pal is concerned. And if I am a buyer I love that and vise versa when I am selling, But I have yet to sell a thing on Ebay....
