When selling on ebay how much money do they take from your sale? what is the max amount? -

i have just started using ebay for buying and selling and i reading about how they take a small amount of what you earn on each sale...it said something about 10 cents to 4 dollars....is 4 dollar the maximum amount they can take from each sale?

Much simpler to just read this:Fees for selling on eBayhttp://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.htm��Good luck!

Hi there, And good luck with your ebay.. Actually Ebay, is not what people tell you or what you hear about.. so you have to be so careful with your money and account as well.. and for the small letters and which is soo small, and in between words.. Ebay deduct .. $0.15 - $5.00 just to put your item for sale (Whether it sell or not). then when your item sell it depend on what is your items for (Auction or fixed price buy it now).. Auction items .. ebay deduct (Depend on the items the cheapest fees is the books ) So Auction items ebay deduct anywhere from 8% - up to 12% .......... So actually if your sale is $ 100.00 eby take average fees 8.15- up to $17.00 .. Plus there is paypal fees (Which ebay insist on accepting paypal to be verified and for them to have more percentage fees ..).. Paypal fees is 2.9% of the total amount you recieve .. (If from other countries than USA) the fees will be 3.9% + 1% .. so the total paypal fees (Which you will recieve your money through .. will be between 2.9% - up to 5% .. so the total ebay (and their other company PAYPAL) actually will get from you is between 9.5%-UP TO 17% .. AND WE DID NOT INCLUDE ITEMS INSERTION FEES ON FEEBAY .. So on average each $10.00 sale on ebay .. you will end paying $ 1.35 - up to $3.76 in some case .. so what you will actually get in your pocket will be $ 7.00 average .. not $10.00 ....... And so you have to get your item much cheaper than that to make profit ,, Because other expenses include the price you paid for your item, your effort to make your item looks nice .. etc... Plus 30% of buyers now on ebay don t pay .. and ebay still charge you .. unless you go on large process which will only give you credit for your fees ??????. which mean you might ending up paying $30.00 fees without actually selling ?????? because buyers didn t pay.. and you will only get credit for the fees so you can put more items ....... For me some of my items are $500.00 and up, and i usually pay between $ 88.75 and $ 135.00 fees average for both ebay and paypal.. I Don t do much business now on ebay.. except for the closeouts or unselling items i have.. as you will find out after while that you are ending up losing money for FEEBAY... so be careful, and the best to make profit on ebay or to be safe to sell items with more than 100% profit margin at least .. Good luck and have a great day ........ and be careful as well Ebay makes $70,000,000.00 aday only from insertion fees (This without any items selling).. and the average for the items selling now on ebay is 1-3 item from each 10 items.. and 30 % of those sellings the buyers will not pay or will be scam....... Good luck and have a great day ..
