10p eBay listing day

What’s the deal?

This Thursday 6 Sept 2007 , eBay* is having a 10p Listing Day, so it's a great time to dejunk those cupboards.

What’s included?

The offer’s valid on Auction-style, Auction-with-Buy It Now or Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) auctions. See full T&Cs

How much will I pay?

While it only costs 10p to list your item, 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 sell your item for £28 you’ll pay only a 10p listing fee, then £1.47 sale charge. 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 10p.

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

You shouldn’t notice any difference, the links don’t impact the product at all and the editorial line (the things I write) is NEVER impacted by the revenue.

Unfortunately it also means you are likely to get a lower sale price as your items get lost in the crazy waves of tat that all appear on these days. You could lose more than you save

Worth a try on some things!
