What do the places that sell your stuff on ebay charge?

[SpendTooMuchOnAtari]

Hey, anyone know what people/stores charge to sell your stuff on ebay. I'm thinking they would do a percentage of what it goes for? What do you think that percentage would be around, just a ballpark estimate.

 

I think these businesses or people exist, I don't know.

 

I was just thinking that about 12% or so of the selling price is gone in fees. I know that's ebay and CTCW is much cheaper but I just don't feel like doing the auction thing at all and I have a fair amount of games to get rid of.

Usually if a business sells your stuff on consignment with Ebay your looking at them taking 33 percent of the profits.

Do all of the person's selling fees come out of my 67%? Meaning they take 33% after I pay the ebay and paypal in fees?

Some actually charge shipping to you as well.

Not fair if they already charge their customer shipping as well. Thanks for the info though.

The ones around here give you 60% of the final sale price.

I bought something from an ebay shop down here and was reading their fee structure as I waited. I forget now exactly what the rates were, but I believe it was around 30-40% of the sell, plus fees.

Place by me has something like this last summer but now fees have gone up a little.

They only want to sell items worth $75+

$10 charge up front for standard listing without reserve price and they keep this if it does not sell and it is refunded if item does sell

fees were based on final value with somewhat of a structure but for most items selling under 300 it was 25%.

They padded their shipping cost so they could make some extra there and seller got none of that.

And then after they got paid and they got positive feedback the seller would get a check or if no feedback they waited 30 days after shipped to pay.

I would guess their fees for final value have gone up now.

You could try selling it in the Marketplace.

Exactly, the Market place is probably a much better place to sell this stuff. Also it might be wise to sell on vendazzle if you can't sell on ebay and it's a non video game item.

Of course, you'll let me know what you're selling so I can buy locally if there's anything I'm interested in.

We used to have one of those places around here, but it folded before the economy got bad. Tells you how effective it was...or wasn't.
