eBay Percentages

[IrishGuy66]

I'm new to selling on eBay, how much of a percentage do they take off of your transaction?

Now they take 10%, but then Paypal comes for its cut.

Use this calculator to estimate all your fees, profit, etc.

If I sell my items for $106 I'll only get to keep $85.... LAME!!!!

I use that calculator too. Ebay fees can really cut into your profit if you're just selling here and there. Having a powerseller rating, having a store, etc can cut down on the fees you're paying.

Just to be clear, being a Powerseller has no impact on the final value fees that you pay eBay. Being a Top Rated Seller gives a 20% discount on final value fees for listings that have 1 day handling and 14 day or longer return policy provided you upload tracking information within 24 hours of the sale.

Yes, my bad... Top Rated Seller and Powerseller are easy to get mixed up. Especially when you end up being both.

It's a horrible error. I don't know if anyone here will ever be able to forgive you.

I know right? I've been selling on ebay for 8+ years and I still get things confused.

BTW, what's your seller ID, i'd love to check out your store (you can PM me if you don't want to share it out in public).

That's fine as long as you don't touch my legos...

At last count my wife uses about 15 different ids on eBay and a few different PayPal accounts. I'd prefer to keep the ones that I know the names of private.

Gotcha, So you're taking that route.

Gotcha,

So you're taking that route.

No offense is meant, most things we sell aren't LEGO, and it takes a lot of work to figure out what to buy and sell. Not sure why I'd just open that up for other pickers to see.

Oh we weren't going to burn you.... we were gonna make you watch as we burned your Legos!!! (Worst Torture I Can Think Of)

No worries! I don't blame you.
