Private eBay Auctions
Any seller on eBay has the option to make their auction private. A private
auction on eBay means that only the seller knows the identities of those bidding
on the item or items being offered.
On the eBay website you can find this information posted by eBay regarding
private auctions: “While there are some cases where private listings are
appropriate, such as the sale of high-priced ticket items or approved
pharmaceutical products, you should only make your listing private for a
specific reason.”
Some sellers say that using the private auction option prevents their
competitors from stealing their customers or knowing what they selling price of
each item was. They also say that it protects their customers from SPAM that is
initiated by their competitors.

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. |
