Ebay half price listing day

What’s the deal?

This Thurs 3 May, eBay* is having a half-price Listing Day, so it's a great time to have a spring clean and flog that clutter.

What’s included?

The offer’s only valid on Auction-Style auctions - it excludes Auction-with-Buy It Now or Buy It Now.

How much will I pay?

While your insertation fee will be half-price, you’ll still have to pay a sale charge if someone buys it. This is a percentage of the auction’s closing price.

As an example, if you start you auction at £15 the listing fee will be 32p, instead of 75p. If it sells for £28 you'll pay still pay a £1.47 sale charge, as usual. See a full breakdown of eBay fees.

How to make the biggest savings.

It’s worth remembering you don't pay a sale charge if your item doesn’t sell; so if no one buys it you’ll only lose between 7p - £1, depending on your starting price.

Also normally, the more expensive your item, the more expensive the listing fee. For instance normally, items with starting prices under 99p cost only £15p to list, whereas items over £100 cost £2. So the biggest savings are on items with a high starting prices over £100. Though you’ll still save a bundle if you’re listing lots of small items.
