Hi Lexxx,
on ebay the first photo is free, after that its 12p for the next - havnt gone more than that, but I think that its free using other photo hosting sites, which some others on this thread may have used.
I sell on a personal paypal account as its just our clutter - well mainly mine and the childrens! that I sell.
Have fun!
Hi Arthurdick, Im not taking it too seriously - but have been on a steep learning curve on my last ebay listings!!
cheers, longhotbath

Sorry if I seem a bit clueless about selling on ebay, but I've only sold a couple of things before and it was years ago - but do you now get marked on postage and packaging?

By the way, arthurdick, I know what you mean about the buzz!! Have 11 people watching 5 items and a couple of bids - am so excited!!

arthurdick

longhotbath

arthurdick

arthurdick

nearly did it with a car once, i bid on a motor, at the time i was expecting my bank charges payout,, which i did get, but they took half of it to pay of my credit card i had with them too...so it left me with not enough for the car....thank gawd i was outbid with a few mins to go

Have to apologise to arthurdick as I thought that eBay would not bother with cheap listing days - sorry arthurdick - guess eBay are suffering from their fee changes and realising that the smaller sellers run eBay!

Just had a quick look at one of the eBay calculators (Google ebay fees calculator uk) - I didn't put in the postage part but regardless, if you listed and sold an item at £0.99 it would cost:

insertion fees - £0.10
final value fee - £0.09
Paypal fees - £0.23

Profit £0.99-£0.42 = £0.57!

Without the insertion fee = £0.67 profit

Just to make you aware of the risk of 99p listings (but remember you might make a few pence on postage)

Thanks longhotbath,

Floxxie i worked it to that amount of profit too, & decided to list items for £1.99, i want to get atleast £1 profit for my troubles:D

I might give Auctiva another try then.
Ebay are doing a Free Listing Weekend, so there's some motivation!
