Ebay Selling Fees.

[daz1969]

If someone could help me please I would be grateful. I will be selling an item on eBay for £500, I have been offered 80% off final value fees on one account but on my other account I have been offered £1 max value fees. Which is the better option? Many thanks for your help.

//// The final value fee is calculated as 12.8% of the total amount of the sale (which includes the item price, postage, taxes and any other applicable fees), plus a fixed charge of 30p per order. ////

So if you sell your item for £500, the normal fees would be 12.8% of this (£64.00) plus 30p = £64.30.
Your offer of 80% off, means you'd pay 20% of this = £12.86

It looks like the £1.00 max fee is a no-brainer :)

Yea you're correct - I just assumed that the total price, including postage would be £500 :)
