Ebay selling seems to be free.
« on: December 28, 2010, 05:12:26 pm »
Just for information, you may already know but i only just found out and thought i would make sure everyone is aware

So i never really sold on ebay because i couldnt be arsed with the fees and then being annoyed if it didnt sell after paying a listing fee... well it seems that they no longer charge for most items (list fee)
So there is no worry about paying to list the item and it not selling...

go sell all your crap.. :)

Thanks Steve.

I haven't seen anything official about it but maybe it's a post Christmas promo?

I think most (if not all) items are free to list if starting bid is 99p or less, has to be an auction and not a 'Buy It Now' though.

As above, some listings are free, see here: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html#free

They also have free listings days about once a month, the last one was 4th/5th December according to their announcements page.

^^^ This!
10% of the final price + fee for the item i believe then paypal fees on top. It actually costs a fortune to sell anything on eBay!
