ebay charges a straight 10% on the total of the selling price AND shipping charge plus if you had any add on features.

Hi,
I used to sell my handmade teds on eBay , many years ago, when the company was relatively new, don’t remember them charging those sort of fees back then. I wouldn’t have used them, because in those days I had other options where I wouldn’t have paid any fees.


20 years down the track.
Sold a heap of my collection earlier this year, sure left a dent in the pocket. Couldn’t beleive what it ended up costing me, but, I didn’t really have any other options, and at least they sold.

At least you’re aware of what they do charge

I agree it's higher than I like, but when you think about it it is common for salespeople to get 10% commission. So, there you go.
