  • i havent been charged anything much, pennies for re-listings, but ive started dropping the price just slightly before due to close and they sell like hot cakes! longest listing i had was three months for paint shop pro but the charges like i mentioned were not worth the worry still made a lot from that. give it a go, maybe just try a few items on there if you not sure, you can always remove them later x
