Ebay question

[RobD]

Could someone please clarify something for me re selling on Ebay?If you list an item to sell you are charged a fee for that listing,do you also get charged a percentage of the final price the item sells for (auction format).The reason I am asking this question is my ebay fees seem to be higher than usual.Cheers.

Yes.

As well as the insertion fee ebay also charge a fee based on a % of the final selling price.

Seehttp://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html for details.

Hope this helps.

eBay charges 3% of final selling price up to £30,then an additional 13% on anything over that..this is of course in addition to the original ad fees..as the first photo is free,I try and do a photographic montage/collage of 4 little pics and get the exposure for nowt..it works..of course they also charge Paypal fees in additon..by the by..they are the only major auction ISP who are in profit..beating even Amazon..personally I think they are great,and I buy/sell continously with them !

You can also host a picture somewhere and include a bit of HTML to link the picture in to the advert , then you can have as many pitures as you want.

just use the <img src="Link to picture goes in here">

Either use the free hosting most people get with their ISP or upload to another free source like Yahoo or phlog.net

I use Photobucket, it generates this bit <img src="Link to picture goes in here"> for you
