They charge 7.79 dollars for quick buy, and they charge by PERCENT on ur starting price, and they also take by PERCENT on ur selling price. yup ebay do charge fees for posting item for sale/auction on their website. I'm not sure about ebay.com (U.S) but in ebay.com.au (Australia) they charge 5.75% on your final value that below AUD75.00 (for auction) and 10% on final value (for ebay store) and yet you have to include fees you insert the posting for your item (insertion fees) and if you accept paypal as the payment method. There will be another service charges imposed by paypal which is 3.50% + AUD 0.30 from your final value. So....you do the math WTH is this really crazy, la eBay. Anyone can help? Or tell me any other web i can sell stuff wordwide?   This post has been edited by Hornet012: Sep 23 2007, 03:48 AM |

That's y they ask the customer to put the value of what the customer paying at the shipping charge, not at the item itself.
So the customer gonna buy USD 1 for DVD writer, but pay 30 dollar for shipping. This post has been edited by archonixm: Sep 23 2007, 03:55 AM |

DO NOT TRY IT cos its illegal and people will report you to ebay about this.So the customer gonna buy USD 1 for DVD writer, but pay 30 dollar for shipping. |

Ebay will ban you and remove the listing if they found out your shipping fee is unreasonable.
