eBay Selling

If you have considered moving items to store listings this summer, as I previously mentioned, make sure to do the math first. If you sell very few items, it might not be cost effective to do so. However, from a hassle standpoint, it may be well worth it to you.

A store listing is $15.95 a month. Compare that to listing 15 non-media items a week that start at less than $10. Those listings, over the course of the month, are $15. And, you have to manually relist them each week. If you sell anything that starts at more than 9.99, you will have higher fees. Fifteen of those items a week adds up to $21. The store listings are .03 for anything under $25 and run for 30 days. And for store listings, the prices of multiple items aren’t added together.

For example: I have items that I have in quantities of about 50. Each item is under $10. That means that if I run an auction or fixed price listing, the price of each one is added together to determine the listing fee. But for a store auction, only the price of one of them is considered. To put it more simply:

One listing for 50 items for $5 each- store listing, .03

auction/fixed price listing, $3
