  • If an item doesn't sell you can normally re-list it for no extra charge.

    For everything you sell, you get charged a listing fee, based on the starting price, type of auction and other options - and also a final value fee which is a small % of the closing price.

    For anything that doesn't sell the listing fees are usually only a few pence (less than 50p) - depends on how many pictures etc you include.
    There is usually a free listing weekend once a month - so this means you can list for nothing, and only pay fees if you sell anything.

    Have a look around Amazon where you can list your items and only pay if it sells, Play.com worth a go also, I list CD,s Books and Games on all 3 sites and I have been impressed with Play.com
