I don't sell much on EBay, but I noticed a trick they pull to increase their fees |
|
I'm selling a DVD boxed set I watched once, and the 'BUY IT NOW' fee structure for DVDs and books is 9% final value fee. It didn't sell twice, and my total listing fees were 10 cents, and no charge for not selling. I look today, and below my not yet deleted item is the little box "Try listing as a fixed price you'll get better results!!!". I thought, "hmmm, Buy it Now is a fixed price, I wonder why there is a link to Final Value Fees here in real small print?"
I click, and fixed price fees jump to 15% when sold. So my cost would have been $5.55 instead of $3.33
Been a member for 13 years, but that's sneaky shit. I may just keep the DVD set now.
