does the £7.70 or so im saving on fags everyday count?

Hi goldieds and welcome

Most people count savings only if you actually move the money into savings or to pay off debt. A friend of mine quit smoking recently and put £20 a day (the amount her and her OH were spending on cigs roughly) into a pot - it was amazing how quickly it built up and really motivational. Well done to you for quitting

I've decided to count the following toward my total.

AppTrailers
InstaGC
Swagbucks
The $3 I already have in my jar
NY Lotto winnings

Hello, as far as I understand it, as well as fees already charged by eBay they will now also charge 10 per cent of stated postage costs. There are some good threads about this in the eBay,car boot and jumble sale part of these forums - sorry can't link on phone.

I've been starting prices higher and putting free postage -- losing free listing from starting at 99p but hopefully saving the extra cost, if I understand correctly.


**edited to add I didn't understand correctly and stating free postage makes no difference to fee paid! Thanks Scarlet1982 for explanation.

Ebay are now charging the 10% on the postage cost as well as selling price.

If you list at 99p & £1.00 p&p you pay zero insertion fee for 1st 100 listings.
If it sells at 99p - before the change you would have been charged 9p Final value fee.
From now on you will be charged 19p 10% of the overall cost.

If you were to list @ 1.99 free p&p you would still pay 19p final value fee + listing fee which is what you would have paid before the change. HTH
