eBay fees

[Geek99]

Does anyone know what the eBay final value fees on instruments are ? Sale likely to be around £700, I know cars are subject to a different final value fee

Thanks

Should be 10% of the final value. If the buyer uses paypal then a further 3.4%. If you log into ebay, go to my ebay select the listing, then edit the listing at the very bottom it should show you the final value fee.

thanks -was just wondering if its different for higher ticket items

[jonno1981]

I think it's capped at £75 for private sellers, so you don't pay more if your item sells for anything over £750. For business sellers it's 10% of the total regardless which is a right pain in the backside!

ebay is a conumdrum, we all know it's a rip off, but you get to the biggest market by selling through them so you will probably get a higher price.
I refused to sell my Stingray through them, sold it on here for less but actually got a bit more for it when the fees were taken into consideration, which are nearly £100 on a £700 item

The fees used to be quite reasonable and when everyone started to use it they bumped up the fees. I only buy on eBay now because of this. If you're selling musical gear BC all the way I reckon; less hassle, better communications, common ground, all sorts of reasons and all for a little contribution to the BC coffers if you feel so inclined.

Yep, 10% with a max of £75. Main reason Gumtree is so popular!

I have tried both here and gum tree :/
