Calculate Insertion Fees
A consideration to take into account when deciding what items you want to
sell is the selling cost (???A good sale starts with a great buy???). There are several
selling costs on eBay:
??? Insertion fee to list an item on eBay (covered next). The amount you are charged
depends on the type of listing (or auction) and your initial pricing. See Chapter 1 for
information on the different auction types.
??? Final value fee, which is determined when a fixed-price sale is made or an auction
closes with a winning bidder (see Chapter 6 for more information on calculating and
paying final value fees).
??? Optional fees, such as listing upgrades to make your listings stand out, adding a Buy
It Now option to an auction, adding more than one picture to a listing, and fees for
using eBay selling-management tools (see Chapters 6 and 7 for descriptions of
these fees).
