    It depends on the value or projected value of the sale. I would say use the £3 max on items over £60 and the 50% off on items less than £60?

    How much would the final value fees be on the 50% off and on items £60 or lower?

    It would be about £4 on a £60 sale so maybe use the £3 offer. After a re-think £50 and less could be the sweet spot for the 50% offer.

    Are you including plus 30p on the 50% one?

    Yes but it's a tricky calculation, I'm sure a mathematician could tell you the exact figure but it's getting a bit late lol.

    I got the 50% off fees offer which means I can make my drafts live... Really pleased as definitely would have passed on the max £3 offer.

    I believe that the cut- off point would be around £44.49. That would give you (at the usual 12.8% + 30p) selling fees of £6, when rounded to the nearest penny.

    Anything over £44.49, use the £3 max offer, anything under £44.49, use the 50% off + 30p.

    Disclaimer: I am not a mathematician or accountant, nor do I have a maths-based profession. I calculated this because it seemed to be a challenge I could cope with and between DH and I, we have both offers on our accounts 😊
