Do you have to pay anything when selling stuff on Ebay?
Are there any fees? And how does the shipping work, how do you ship it out.
Yes you do. There’s a list of ebay listing charges at http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html
PayPal does not charge for personal accounts – https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees-outside
You need to set a realistic price for shipping and ebay has a shipping calculator based on yours and buyers zip code. http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/shipping-costs.html
However some people advise to use a fixed shipping fee – http://www.auction-tips-and-techniques.com/fixed-shipping.html
USPS has a cost calculator – http://postcalc.usps.gov/ so does UPS – http://www.theupsstore.com/qcc/qcc.asp Remember when using these you need the total weight of the package including packaging.
Many people have been using ebay for a long time and know roughly how much shipping should be so don’t go over the top when adding items like the packing materials and your time. Apart from losing sales – I, for one, won’t buy from people who are over the top on their handling fees – it is against ebay policy – http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html
Yes there are listing fees. They depend on many things you do in the auction. Then if you sell the item you pay a percentage of the sale to E-bay. Also you have Paypal charges.
You do the shipping yourself. However is the cheapest.
You can see a list of fees on E-bay’s site.
