I have used EBay for many years and Yahoo auctions before that (for those who remember it), but I have rarely used it to sell.
Sunday 1st March I had a small clearout of garage tools n bits and listed 11 items on EBay.
Yesterday 8 of them sold and I have posted them all this morning, so here is the breakdown...
£65.71 --> Total items sold for
So out of a total of £65.71 for the goods I sold I have paid £16.58 in fees thats just over 25% :shock: :shock:
oh and i gained £0.19 to cover packaging, it was all second hand anyway
When you see it like this it is a bit steep.

this is why people add a bit on the postage cost now, also if you now open a new account you have to take pay pal payments, if you put in the listing that you wont take pay pal they will pull the listing off.
be really carefull about people paying by pay pal then collecting the item as they could say that some one had hacked in to thier account to buy the item from you, pay pal will ask you for proof of postage and the address you posted it to, but when its been collected from you cant prove, so pay pal will refund their money from you!!! so you will lose the money and the item

In Australia eBay tried to make PayPal the only method of payment, but it was found to be illegal as it breached freedom of trade legislation. PayPal will always show up as an option, but you can clearly state you will not take PayPal. Whenever possible I’ll do direct deposits into someone bank account (though I don’t know if that can work on overseas purchases?).
