Selling Big Ticket Items on eBay
The Internet has been a place where consumers bought many small items that could
be easily packaged and shipped for several years now.
Books, small household appliances, hand tools and decorating items, for example,
which are bought online, are responsible for many millions of dollars of trade
in the United States every year.
People have been a bit slower to purchase the big ticket items online, however.
That trend does seem to be reversing itself.
More and more frequently in the last year, people are purchasing big ticket
items like refrigerators, treadmills and even automobiles online. Many of these
purchases are made on eBay.

There are two fees that eBay charges; the insertion fee and the final value fee.
The insertion fee is based on the asking price of the item. For an item that is
listed for under $1.00, the insertion fee is $.20. For an item that is listed
for $500 or more the insertion fee is $4.80.
The final value fee doesnt apply until an item is sold. If the item listed does
not sell then there is in final value fee.
For items that sell for $25 or less, the final value fee is $1.31. For items
that sell for more that $25, the fee is $1.31 plus 3% of the sales price over
$25.
The math might be a bit mind boggling but the fees are really very reasonable
when you think about the value of the advertising that you receive.
The Insertion Fee for Multiple Item Dutch Auction and Fixed Price listings will
never be more that $4.80 no matter how many items are listed.
However, the final value fee is based upon the sales price of each item rather
than on the total of sales. |
