it's staggered afaik


10% for low lvl but once its over liek £50 it's like 7% then goes down to like .5% for house sales ect i think





just checked my ebay account looks like they changed it recently

10% across the board up to a maximum of £40 (£400 sale)
no fee for property or mobile phones with contracts

I haven't used ebay for nearly two years now, I've got no email linked to it anymore.

It's the worst place to buy or sell; the scams make it a minefield, you have a 50/50 chance of someone screwing you over. Then ebay eat all your profit, and make more money via paypal.

Gumtree and playtrade, amazon marketplace are the tools to use right now.

Ask Ceixah.

Afaik they upped it this year to a minimum of 10%, paypals like 5% so that's fucking 15% ain't worth it anymore.

Why do you expect to get a service for free? Of course they charge commission, grow up and live in the real world. It's a cost of business.

Thats not the problem. It's the pure amount they take in commission. If you ask me, 10% is not justifiable, especially considering since it's an automatic service which have to do no work, unless it goes to disputes which even still they are shit then. That's why I don't use it now anyway.

Don't forget PayPal is pretty much the most used option for payment and also takes 5%+ .

So year, fuck em'

No, but ebay take far too much, and their dispute resolution is shocking. The fact they pretty much force you to use paypal and then charge from that as well is just a farce. I've lost all faith in it, it was unique and great 5 years ago, there are better cheaper alternatives now.

I lost £100 once on a PS3 on the protection scam they had going. It was brought in very sneaky and only lasted a month or so. I didn't see it at the time ....

It had a green tick saying you are protected but then in small writing saying, you are only protected for x amount. And i used paypal .... It has that now and before but no x amount of money protection, there was a lot of complaints and it got changed back to full protection.

I blame my self for not double checking but it was daylight robbery. And since then they can suck my cock. Was a yank so nowt I could do, How you can not recover funds either is bs when you need ID to get verified and a bank account linked to withdraw ffrom.

Ask Ceixah.

when he corrects you you say

sorry ...
You just seem a real arrogant little prick, you think you're better than people but the truth is you are the only one that thinks that, you stive for approval and when you don't get it you reason with yourself that we don't worship you becuase we're to stupid to understand how great you really are and our praise would be beneath you anyhow.




Am I wrong? I doubt it.

heh cheers for the defence gohan, not sure I needed it vs this tool but appreciated all the same.


I was actualyl quite surprised tbh to read about there being a 10% charge on pretty much everything, but I suppose ebay gotta make their money somewhere, I won't be selling anything there anytime soon though! :)


If anybody knows anybody that wants an iPhone 4 16GB Black on vodafone though give me a shout and I can sell you ringdings! :>

I was actually being honest, i'm perfectly happy this way ... and it works for me in business :) not everyone has to be a model citizen and a perfect role-model. That's why the majority of the people of people that think they are fake and full of shit.

Gohan just looked retarded imo.

Just had this myself, sold my Sigma 10-20mm for £285, cost me £10 to list it and £28.5 in ebay fees.

Net gain was £246.50, the lens was probably worth about £290. Mind you, it would have been sitting gathering dust otherwise so just glad to sell it.
