Ebay Fees are so ridiculous

MarlinsManiac20 · Apr 5, 2010

This past week I sold 2 bottles of cologne for 20$ish each plus 4$ shipping. They were sold via BIN/B.O. And I was charged 3$ each if they were sold. Both sold so thats 6$ and then two days ago another 5.57$. So just about 12$ in fees for 40$ in cologne. I can only imagine some guys who have 100's of cards listed every month. What are your guys normal ebay fees?

What does the other 5.57$ represent? Is the your paypal fee? That seems high to be that

The 5.57$ or w.e was the Seller fees from ebay! I wish there was an alternative.

You should try this tool before you list and set your price accordingly.

What he is saying is that the $5.57 can't be fees related to the cologne.

If you did a buy it now on both bottles, you are looking at 35 cents each, so in all, you paid 6.70 to sell something for $40, which is just at 17 percent. Doesn't sound too bad of a commission rate to me.

And you basically owe $5.67 for the ENTIRE listing/sale. Not $12. That $5.67 is the FVF and the Insertion fee.

Getting $3 off per "instantly" means that the $3 was the listing fee. It doesn't seem like you did just do a basic listing. Either you used a subtitle, or some other addition to the listing.

Yes, they fees are high, but sometimes that's the only place you can get money instead of trade offers.
