What amount will i be charged for a 4600.00 item i sold on eBay?

It depends - whether you're a private seller or a business. Private sellers pay a 'flat fee' of 10% up to a maximum of £75.00 (UK currency - since I'm in UK). Business sellers pay between 5% and 12% - depending on the category. The exception is property - where the fee is zero.

Can you only use PayPal with eBay?

It�s not primarily eBay...Currently, PayPal operates in 190 markets, and it manages over 164 million accounts.

I use PayPal for a bunch of different websites. They have deals too ex., %'s or $ off orders, free shipping, free gifts, etc. All are listed on their website or they frequently email you specials.

PayPal is used everywhere but eBay is about, if they haven't already, to go PayPal only on their payments.

Selling on eBay do you have to report earnings?

From what I've read, only if you make a profit. So if you buy a video game for forty dollars, become tired of the game(or beat it), and sell it for thirty dollars then you don't have to report it.

Is eBay establish in Indonesia?

eBay does not currently have a local site in Indonesia. All existing local sites can be found at the foot of the US site (www.ebay.com)

Which is the best user friendly Linux package?

In short: Ubuntu Linux

But you need to remember what User Friendly means, and that Linux is NOT Windows.

http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm

What does "user-friendly" really mean? Well, in the context in which it is used, "user friendly" software means "Software that can be used to a reasonable level of competence by a user with no previous experience of the software." This has the unfortunate effect of making familiar interfaces fall into the category of "user-friendly".

Linux is necessarily different to Windows. Inescapably, Linux always appears less "user-friendly" than Windows.

Obviously, it will take some getting used to but once you learn Linux it is a good alternative.

If you want to sell your non-digital camera on eBay how do you go about it?

First you would have to make an eBay account. Then you would click the "sell" button. It would then ask you what are you selling, and you can write what you are selling to filter the category you want to sell your camera in. Then follow the simple eBay steps about your description and price. There should also be a filter or a place to specify whether it is a digital camera or a film camera. Another thing to consider is how people would pay for it. Money order or PayPal. For PayPal (really secure) you would also need to make an account. Then when the money is sent to the account, you would transfer it to your bank account. after the winner of the auction pays for the camera, you check your paypal account for his address. You would package your camera, print the TO and FROM addresses and tape it to the box. Then go to the postal office, usps, fedex or UPS.

What is a bid in eBay?

Bidding is the concept of different people competing with each other to pay the highest amount of money is a specified amount of time. Example:

A shirt has a starting price of $0.99 with 1 day on eBay. Somebody sees the shirt and would like it, so they bid $1. Somebody else thinks the shirt is worth paying more than a dollar then $1, so they bid $5. It goes on and on until time is up, and the person who bid the highest gets the item. All other bids that get beaten are not owed or payed to seller.

What are the eBay and PayPal coupon codes for 2008?

The codes from eBay and PayPal are not publicly issued in advance. When they are issued, they can generally only be used by the members who receive them because the codes are linked to the email address to which they were sent. This means that if you try to use someone else's coupon, it will in all likelihood be rejected at the checkout. If you try to use a voucher the was issued to someone else and it does fail at the checkout, you will still be obliged to pay for the item that you committed to buy (at the full price). There are sites that offer various discounts, but these are not vouchers issued by either eBay or PayPal.

Is it illegal to sell new goods that you've purchased from a retailer for a higher price on eBay?

It's not illegal, no, but it's also not a strong business plan. If you could find the items for cheaper before trying to resell them, your potential customers can do the same.

Why is Sandy Posey listed as artist on many Anne Murray albums for sale on eBay?

Its mistake either intentional as in the virus mentality type person or somehow an accident. It shows how errors are compounded. Its even question on Wikipedia.

I wrote the above to an eBay seller who has it posted incorrectly. I have the CD. Sandy Posey is not mentioned in any way and even if she were she would not be in the title, even if she produced it which she did not. She is not affiliated in any way.

Sandy Posey had two big hits, as a singer, Born a Woman and Single Girl in 1966-1967.

How do you collect money from a sold item on eBay using paypal?

It's easy you sign up for free, link your bank account and when you get paid transfer money out of it or use it to buy other things. Many use it on other sites as well to protect their cc nos, etc. Search Ebay help for create a seller account. Your pp will be linked to your Ebay as well. You need a pp to buy as well but if you just want to try out Ebay you can make a few purchases as a guest with a cc without an account.
