eBay

No, there are various fees and options to sell items on Ebay.

In fact, selling on eBay can end up being an extremely costly transaction. EBay is constantly revising their fee structure, but here are some of the fees you're looking to pay.

1). listing fee (between 10 cents to $4 dollars, regardless if your item sells). This is for a basic listing. If you want to add listing "addons" these will cost you more.

2). selling commission (if you sell you're item, has a fee scale) roughly 8.75% of your first $25, then 3.50% of any amount up to $1000 and so on.

3). paypal fees (if you use paypal to collect payment) - about 3% of amount collected

4). shipping fees (you'll probably be able to charge the user for this fee, but make sure you ask for enough, because otherwise you'll end up covering any shortage)

So if your auction goes for $550.00, you're going to pay the following

$4.00 listing fee

$20.55 commission to eBay

$15.95 paypal fee (paypal is owned by eBay)

Total fee of $40.50

Another alternative is to use free classified sites such as craigslist if you want to avoid fee's. However, then you have to be careful about spammers and scammers. You can always try social classifieds such as friendsell.com where more trust, control and privacy exist too.

Far from it...

it cost's to list unless you are listing on a free listing day...

it costs for certain addons such as subtitles and the final amount you receive has a final value fee deducted from it.

You will not receive the item. Additionally, an "Unpaid Item" will be placed on your account. According to eBay, "If you have excessive unpaid items on your account, we may limit or end your ability to buy."

SEARS and KMART

If there are no bids yet, you can edit the auction and ADD a buy it now option. It does cost extra.

Another answer

I believe you may make changes to your auction until 12 hours of auction ending, and like the first answerer said if there are no bids.

Condominiums for sale are usually listed under real estate on CraigsList.

You must be totally familiar with what it is you are seeking to buy. There's nothing like knowledge of a product to give you confidence to bid and buy correctly. Ask someone you know is a knowledgeable collector/dealer and listen to their advice.

You could ask in the eBay forum. People in there love to keep eBay honest.

Scamming can come in many guises. Do you mean about the price you're paying, or if the bidding is honest, etc?

The bidding is honest. I would personally buy from someone with MANY sales and a 99.xx% favorable feedback.

With all that I've said, it's still Caveat Emptor. Knowledge Rules!

Make the eBay account first. To gain a positive feedback in advance, you can buy some items, if you want to, but not necessary.

After you taken the pictures of what to sell, list it in the appropriate category.

Answer the buyer's questions, and ship to the highest bidder.

"Ebay itself does not have a guarantee to purchases. This is up to the individual seller whether or not there is a guarantee. However, most wil ot reimburse you for the return shipping."

There are many products a person may purchase from eBay. For instance, individuals may purchase clothing, watches, and jewelry. Some people purchase novelty or speciality foods. Bidders may also buy electronics, computers, vehicles, cameras, and housewares. Once, someone on eBay even sold a Ghost in a Jar. The winning bidder never paid for it.

No, there are no trick, or hidden, fees to using eBay but you do need to know where to look to be certain of what you will be charged.

There is no charge whatsoever for using eBay as a buyer only.

As a seller you will incur insertion fees, upgrade fees and final value fees. There are also subscription services you can select to use, such as subscribing to an eBay Store, using Selling Manager Pro, etc, and you will be charged a recurring monthly fee for these.

If you accept payment through PayPal - and it is almost certain that you will have to do that - you also have to pay them a fee as well.

All sites have different fees, based on the local currency, and they are liable to change at any time so it is not possible to give a precise reply here on WikiAnswers. So you should go to the help section on the eBay site where you intend to create your listings and search for "fees" to find the most up to date information.

you are supposed to be over 18 for an eBay account. many of my friends have made them when they were under 18 and they had no problems. they just lied about their age while signing up. i don't think that it would be a problem at all unless you get into legal trouble somehow on ebay and they need a scan of your drivers license or something proving who you are then you'd be pretty screwed.

so basically if you are careful go for it!

Yes! PayPal makes it extremely easy to make purchases on Ebay - it's even linked to your bank account so you can make immediate transfers of money to purchase an item.

You are unable to withdraw a bid on ebay.

But there is an option after the bidding is over too contact the seller and explain your problem.

It could take as long as two weeks depending what service the seller uses.

32 million dollars is the highest bid ever on eBay for Dirk Diggler's prosthetic... well... you know also a high bid for a dodge charger, it went for 9,900,500

Signing out means you're not actively logged into eBay on your own computer. Signing out does NOT remove your name and account from the site.

i usually takes from a few days to a week but it depends where it is coming from

If you are talking about Priority Flat rate shipping it should arrive in 2 to 3 days.

eBay doesn't ship at all.

Items you buy from eBay sellers are dispatched by the sellers themself and are shipped by the method the seller chooses. Some sellers will ship on weekends, some will not; you should be able to see more details about shipping on the item listing page that you purchased from.
