Ebay Fees Help Please

[Lambtales]

I'm thinking of listing a high value item on ebay. I'd like £550 for it. But I can't get my head around the fees.

I'm now on the new managed payment system and have had an offer of 80% off the variable final value fees.

This is what the information on their fees states:

Final value fees

When your item sells, you pay 10% of the final transaction value, including taxes and postage. We call this a final value fee. We cap final value fees so you'll never pay more than £250 for a single item.

With regards to the offer this is what they sent:

What's it all about?

Get 80% off variable percentage final value fees ("FVF") per listing in final value fees if the item sells. A fixed order level fee of 30p and other fees, including any International fees, still apply.

So on £550, the fees would be £55 normally, but with the 80% off I will be paying £11?

Does that seem right?

I normally wait for the £1 listing fees but they've removed this and I don't want to get stung if I've interpreted this incorrectly.

Thank you!

I'm no help because I can't understand the current charging structure, either.

Are there no more £1 listing offers? I thought I saw one running the other day. My stuff almost all sells for < £10 so I don't pay attention to £1 FVF offers generally.

A lot of people will say try selling on local facebook pages instead because there are fewer risks.

Now they've removed Paypal I believe eBay are changing the offers. If you don't change to their managed payments you won't get any seller offers at all.

The fees would be more than £55 - they're 12.8% now for sellers registered on the new payment system.

And there's a 30p charge not included in the deal. Otherwise you're right.

Thanks @bookworm1632 I'll work it out using the 12.8%.
