Okay, so my friend Adam, his little brother Brad and I stood outside wal-mart and each managed to buy a Wii and a Zelda game. It cost each of us approximately $387.00 CAN. Brad managed to sell his to his friend for a little profit, but Adam and I put ours on Ebay, under his account, for $1.99CAN with a reserve price of $400.00 He told me that he would hold onto it and try to sell it for me.
Initially, I knew that it would cost a bit of money to put it up to sell, and that was fine. But they didn't sell, and now Adam is still holding onto it. Today, My friend Sam said that she would buy it off me for $500.00CAN, and we wouldn't have to deal with Shipping or anything.
Anyways, so when I called Adam he told me that he wasn't sure how much I owed him for the listing cost, but he estimated about $70.00CAN!!! What the heck??!!?? Would it really be that much just to list something? Please help!
Sorry this is so long, and THANK YOU FOR READING!!!

It was only listed once, under a two-day listing. No relisting or taking it off before the bidding was up.

He's ripping you off.
1)listing fee for a two day auction from ebay.ca is only
http://pages.ebay.ca/help/sell/fees.html
C$0.41 based on your $1.99 CA starting price.
and a few cents for hte Reserve listing (your total would be under $1 CA)
2) how many pictures were used in the auction listing? depending on how many he used, and if he used EBAY to list them then upto 6 photos would cost you C$1.20 or C$1.80 for up to 12 pics
AT most you only owe him $3 CA IF he did just a basic listing
However, without a link to your auction, we wont know what kind of listing he chose . If he used the "propack" listing, then thats C$35.00 fee ( http://pages.ebay.ca/help/sell/propack.html )

Sheesh! Did the guy feature it on the home page, post 100 photos and buy every bell and whistle eBay had to offer? Where is the listing? Do you have an item number or a URL? That price seems very high unless the price had run up into the thousands when you abandoned auction.

Yes....unfortuantely that could be true. I had the same problem with eBay. I had to pay 43 US Dollars for listing it, then relisting it 3 times. That is why I dont use eBay a lot.

that is a sturdy fee... immediately. The public sale doesn't end for yet another 4 days. I assure you that on public sale day it will be on the different area of $three hundred. in case you want to pay a lifelike fee, searching in the shops is your best guess.

Unfortunatly, it's true because your friend probably put it on the home page, and dozons of other places throughout the ebay website. I think that was very stupid of him and you shouldn't have to pay him more than 75% of that fee.
