hxckid88 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Excuse my numbers if they are not exact and feel free to discuss and correct below but I think they are last time I checked. You sell an item on ebay and they charge you a flat 10% now. Than paypal take, what is 2% give or take? You can have an ebay store and your fee to them is reduced to 4%. It is a $20.00 fee a month to have store, HOWEVER, if you pay upfront for the year this cost is reduced to $16.00 usd. So, for your math wizards and number crunchers out there, let Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emazers Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Unless you got tons of stuff to sell, and the stuff is selling on ebay with good returns don't do the store. I know a few guys that are losing money doing the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 $16/month x 12 months = $192 total yearly fee Break even sales for eBay store is when difference in fees between store and non-store eBay sales equals total yearly fee ($192). .10x - .04x = 192 x = $3,200 If you sell less than $3,200 in one year, it makes more sense to not have an eBay store. If you sell more, you should use an eBay store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
