      MrMuis06 That would be great but I have been saying the same thing for literally YEARS! I have yet to see anything even come close. If eBay were to charge just 3% instead of being GREEEDY with their 10% they would still make MILLIONS if not BILLIONS because so many more people would then want to list with them! When you sell thousands worth each month it isn't that bad but when you are a small time seller like myself that 10% really hurts! They say it isn't that much but they are not even taking into consideration the cost of the item, shipping supplies, gas to/from the Post Office etc. I am not holding my breath!

    • @xxxxxnightwingxxxxx
      @xxxxxnightwingxxxxx 6 років тому +9

      I do a lot of fba and hardly even notice the fees not like I do on ebay. But then again I source only really good stuff with high profit returns. I have 1/2 the amount of items on amazon compared to my ebay store and sell 3 times as much on amazon. So that shows things just move way quicker on amazon...But I still do like Ebay cause it allows me to sell items I'm restricted on amazon.

    When you're talking about the final value fees around 4:30; what do you mean by "up to 750 transactions". Does that mean if I have one listing for an egg for example and that egg sells 800 times. Do I only have to pay the final value fee for the first 750 transactions that listing generates and the other 50 don't have a final value fee? Thanks, I enjoyed your video it helped a lot!

    • @ErikawithaK

    Great video. It was not confusing, pretty straightforward. It was frustrating to learn that you lose about 13% (ebay and paypal combined) of each transaction not to mention other people are aggressive with their pricing so you are already selling the item at a discount, and that's not mentioning shipping supplies, ugh, haha. Makes me rethink selling some things through eBay.

  • @jerome0929
    @jerome0929 5 років тому +3

    all I want to know is why im getting charge 3 different fees. First of all I have sold less than 30 items so I pay no insertion fees.
    I sold an item for $670 and I included the shipping (free shipping I paid for it)
    ones the buyer paid me the $670 I shipped the item and I only got deposited to my pay pal account $650 thats $20 fee for what I don't know. Then Obviously I payed the shipping from there -$13.
    that leaves me with $637, I went to deposited that money from my paypal to my bank and again another fee -$9.
    What I got deposited into my bank account was $628 dlls out of a sale of 670.
    But wait the final sale fee gets invoice at the end of the month so now I own ebay another $67 dlls the 10% of the sale.
    First Fee was the instant -$20
    Second Fee was -$9 to deposited from paypal to my bank
    Third Fee was -$67 final sale fee that I have to pay to ebay now.
    Thats $96 not counting the shipping ( which I choose to pay to sell the item faster)
    whats the $20 charge is what im wondering?

  • @koolkid7343
    @koolkid7343 5 років тому

    Great video. On eBay Australia, I am finding it more difficult to make any profit due to the escalating higher eBay fees.
    Example: If you go over your 40 free listings per month, the Insertion fees as of December, 2018 are AU$1.65 (under $100) AU$3.85 (over $100) plus another 10.9% in final value fees. PayPal adds 2.9% to invoices + $0.30.
    My invoice for last 2 months for eBay and PayPal combined were AU$110 for AU$550 in sales, which is -20% of my profit margin.

    • @ErikawithaK

    So someone let me know if I'm wrong but what I'm understanding is very roughly speaking if you sell something for $20 in fees you're charged approximately $6 plus let's say another $3 for shipping would leave you with $11 in Prophet minus your cost for that item let's say $6 which would leave you with the total profit of $6 is this roughly correct I'm looking for a slightly overestimated base percentage for the fees I will be charged

    • @ErikawithaK
      @ErikawithaK  3 роки тому +1

      i didnt do the math but thats probably about right.... i dont sell on ebay anymore but i believe so. except for the shipping fee you mentioned, are you charging for shipping? if so it would depend on what you charged.... don't forget pay pal takes a % too. not sure if this helps or causes more confusion for you

    • @ErikawithaK
      @ErikawithaK  5 років тому

      that's a really general question but requires a very specific answer... i am sure there are things that cannot be sold (like fake handbags and things like that) but i don't know specifically what else it is. but i believe they will take down your listing if it violates anything.

    Hi, nice video, what are the percentages of money you loose from the total selling price if you look at all costs from eBay / Paypal after a month? I love the big buying public at eBay but the percentage in total is sometimes 25%! I am looking into Facebook Market now and to the Syscoin Blockmarket win / osx application ( syscoin.network/syslinks ), here you can sell without the loss of a big percentage, and your listing cannot be removed if you use a word or picture that eBay does not like or that you are not allowed to sell. Do you thinks that selling on a blockchain (power to the people) will be bigger in the future than selling on webpages and/or eBay.

    • @ErikawithaK
      @ErikawithaK  5 років тому

      the insertion fee is per insertion. you are given an invoice at the end of the month for them, but you are charged per item listed, unless you have free listings available to you. typically if you do its 50 free listing every month. which means every month you can list 50 items without having to pay an insertions fee for them. that isn't available to everyone tho. before you publish a listing, ebay will let you know how much it will cost just to list it.

  • @benzi1521

    So I just sold my first item on eBay. It was a video game so nothing big but it was 74$ with shipping. I sold the item, got the money in my paypal account, and it was on hold which I know happens to everyone if you’re a first time seller. It charged that money for shipping which is fine and I knew that the 10% for eBay was going to come at some point too but I got a message on eBay saying here’s your invoice, it needs to be paid immediately. So I go click on the button and it takes me back to PayPal and I’m not really sure what to do at this point. Do I need to pay that invoice out of pocket? Is it going to subtract it from the money that’s being held already? There’s no clear info on this

    I appreciate the information, would love to know if you have a sweet spot (range of value purchased and sold) that minimizes fees but allows a decent return or profit. Also, do you add or subtract a set percentage to cover fees as a rule of thumb?

    Thank you Erika. I don't like the attitude of sellers who sell Reserve Not Met and will never bid on that item even if I would like to have the item. They generally price their items way above identical items from different sellers. I think they are delusional imagining their items to be in a Sotheby's Auction.

    Very good info. And especially good news on the 3.5% for musical gear because that's what I plan on selling. I have my little bubble mailer ready to fill and bring to the post office for weight and stamp. Once I get a buyer of course. I just don't know how to list it yet. Can I use other seller's images of the exact same item? Grrr, I am so green at this. lol

    • @nanonunio
      @nanonunio 6 років тому +2

      joe pish is best if you take actual pics of your items because customers like to see what they're really buying you will definitely be making more sells that way I suggest you get a scale that reads ounces if you are selling small items and print your own labels at home because eBay gives you a discount if you do it with them plus you will avoid the waiting in line and be saving money start selling as a personal account and only upgrade to a store if you going to list over 200 items or more that's when you start saving with a store you can always call eBay and ask for more listing space you start with a limit of 30 listings a month but like I said if you call them and tell them that you have more items they will upgrade your number of listings a month don't worry if they ask you where you are getting your items from. Just remember the first 50 listings are free then you will have to pay $.30 cents per listing.
      you will be charged 12.9% between PayPal and eBay that's $1.30 every $10 ➕ another $. 30 cents for PayPal if you are selling instruments is lower like she mentioned on the video which I think is 3.5% plus 2.9% plus. $.30 cents I'll let you do the math I hope this helps you it's fun selling I guarantee you it is

    How does this make any sense. I made nearly 1000$ my first month and it’s all on a 21 day hold. I was doing well but I couldn’t afford to keep operating with no return on investment. I called eBay to negotiate a deal to no avail so I was forced to close my store until I get my money released. Now I randomly get a message saying I owe eBay a 100$ as a monthly fee for my transactions? This is a joke! Every item is already hit with percentage fees from eBay AND PayPal upon transaction! This is just digging into everyone’s profit margins by nearly 15%. Who the hell came up with this?

    In short selling on eBay is too expensive and not worth the trouble for most ppl.. I sold three $100 items... the item fees were $30 then $6 fees for shipping them... If I would've raised the asking price to offset the fees then I'd have very few ppl interested but with the fees I profit next to nothing and it makes it pointless to sell on eBay... This has been my experience in the past were I told myself never to sell on eBay again but things haven't changed and they are expensive as ever.... I had Much better luck selling on letgo but that platform is for local areas where it makes it hard to find a larger customer base as outsiders can't view your listing unless they deliberately search your exact area... Letgo and others need to step up their game to actually compete with Amazon and eBay without changing the excessive fees they do...

      50 listing are only free if you qualify. before you publish a listing ebay breaks down the cost. you may not have had free listings or maybe you upgraded some listings without realizing. ebay will give you a break down before you commit to list an item what exactly you will be billed for. keep an eye out for that next time you go to list a new item or relist an unsold item. hope that helps!

    Tip 1) Make a new account for 50 free listings each month.
    (You won't get the 50 free listings until you sell a few things, so make sure the items are great w/high selling rate.)
    Tip 2) Call Ebay every-time your account wont let you list more items and tell them you have alot more items to sell.
    (Make sure you sold some things so they see you are legit.)
    Tip 3) NEVER LIST MORE THAN 50 ITEMS ON ONE ACCOUNT!
    (THE GOLDEN RULE)
    Tip 4) NEVER USE THE OPTION GOOD TIL CANCELED!
    (using this option and/or the 200 free promotional listings is a RECIPE for a larger monthly bill.
    Ebay will automatically relist your item if it doesnt
    sell while charging you $.30...and if you didnt sell alot of items at the end of the month,
    these fees will pile up quick!)
    Tip 5) If you dont want an Ebay store because of fees and sell less than 200 items, these methods can work for you!
