Default Ebay Fees

I wanted to know how much on average on you spending on ebay fees? I read a page on the website(thats how I found you guys!) thats said you can set up and account with turbo lister in the Netherlands? Can you still do that to minimize the fees. I am trying to get a feel of my monthly expenses. Thanks gals!

Default Re: Ebay Fees

I did that (Sell to UK & US by listing on eBay Netherlands). I think you can still do that but eBay just lowered insertion fee so I'm not sure if you still need to do it.

Another thing is: eBay HongKong site offers free eBay store. So if can read Chinese, you can open an eBay store there free and list items for free and I think the final value fee is 0 (not sure though). The downside is when a customer clicks your store, the background except your listing shows Chinese. But it still better than none.

Yea, the dropped the initial fees but man did the jack up the final fees. In the long run it is going to cost MORE now to sell on E-bay. What were they saying in their ad. "Customers asked and E-bay listened". Bull, they stuffed their pockets AGAIN. I wish someone else would open a new auction and everyone move there. What other auctions are out there? Lets spread the word and join a new one and let E-Bay sit on their auction site for awhile with no money coming in. Oh I would love that.

I closed my eBay store after they raised the eBay store fee. Before my website was up, I listed 4 or 5 items on eBay USA and other items (10-20) at eBay Netherlands. eBay Netherlands servers as my eBay store.
