Ebay Buy It Now Fee

[smurfchops]

If I put an item of ladies clothes on for £4.99 my fee is 15p. If I decide to put a Buy it Now for £25 for the same item, what would the extra fee be? The ebay website is not very easy to understand. Thanks all.

it shows this example under their seller fees explanation:

List a technology-related item using the Buy it now format

Buy it now price: £30

Final selling price: £30

Total eBay selling fees are £3.40 comprising:

Insertion fee: £0.40

Final value fee: 10% of the final selling price, which in this case is £3.00

[DJHawkes]

this is for insertion fees for buy it now insertions:

You have got a bit mixed up DJ the minimum insertion fee for a buy it now is 99p , on top of that there is the final value fee of 10% . The minimum insertion fee for an auction is 15p plus 10% final value. Of course you can list an auction item for a start price of 99p for free , but there is still the final value 10% fee.

i've not got mixed up i've just copied and pasted the 2 bits from the ebay website. what is smurf asking then?

[DJHawkes]

it says the minimum insertion fee is 40p for an item listed at the minimum price of 99p, not 99p insertion fee

[smurfchops]

Now can you see why I am confused ?

[smurfchops]

So is it 40p extra for Buy it Now?

A buy it now is more expensive as ebay like auctions not buy it now, the extra fee is to make it more attractive to list an auction.

[DJHawkes]

eddie your link says the insertion fee for a buy it now listing of 99p is 40p

[EDDIE51]

Yes, I was wrong it is a min 40p for buy it now against 0p 0r 15p for auctions.

[DJHawkes]

[smurfchops]

They charged me 15p insertion fee plus extra 37p to put a £22 buy it now, plus my final value fee.
