Selling on eBay?

Question

I read the prices you have to pay to sell your stuff. My friend told me that like the first couple of times you sell stuff on eBay its free. Is that true and if it is can somebody show me where it says that?

Answer 1

For a couple of days you are given a credit of trading. I don't know the exact amount for eBay.com site, but for eBay.uk it is £15. but once you cross this trading limit, you will have to pay this £15 fees in order to list items further.

When you list an item on eBay, you're charged an Insertion Fee. If the item sells, you are also charged a Final Value Fee. The total cost of selling an item is the Insertion Fee plus the Final Value Fee.

Answer 2

If your opening bid is between 0.01 and 0.99, the insertion fee is 20 cents and it goes up from there. It's not free. When you sell something, ebay takes a final value fee, which depending on the amount it sells for, it's like 5-6%. It's not that much really. You can go to the website and look under fees and it'll tell you exactly how much everything is.

Answer 3

hen you first register a selling account it is possible to get your first 5 listings free. .

That is actually a promotion that comes around every once in awhile and right now it is actually not going on

There will not be a link, however when the promotion happens you should receive notification about it in your My Messages and it will be on the Announcements page

Answer 4

No it is not true! You must pay to earn money! Read this site
