Final Value fees

[darby242]

I put up a listing with auction and a BIN.

now if it sells on the auction , will my FVFees be from the auction or from the higher listed BIN.  That was listed..?

It would be based on the final amount sold for along with the amount charged/included for shipping according to the category amounts. Fee calculator attached.

It will go by whichever way it ended up selling. If it sells by auction, that's what it will be based on. If however it sells by the BIN, then fees will be on the BIN price.

Plus 10% of the shipping fee. Plus 30c and 2.9% of the entire payment if the buyer is in Canada. That would be 3.7% if the buyer is in the USA . The percentage is on the entire amount the buyer pays and might include US state sales tax (Internet Sales Tax) which we sellers don't touch. We don't pay the sales tax, to be clear, only a fee on the sales tax. Simple really.

And you did use a Buy It Now option not a Reserve, I hope?

Not only do Reserves discourage buyers, but if the auction does not meet the Reserve (or gets no bids whatsoever) you will still pay fees on the amount of the Reserve.

IE- The highest bid is $100, the Reserve is $200, the item is Unsold and you pay fees on the $200.

The Buy It Now usually disappears with the first bid. Some bidders will bid low and early to make it disappear.

Since you know how much you want for the item, you could also have listed it as Fixed Price for 30 days or until someone buys it.  Fixed Price also allows you to add Immediate Payment Required if you are worried about deadbeats. The item remains available until paid for. Fixed Price also allows you to add Best Offer and put parameters on how much you will accept (high/low) which is a sort of auction, I guess.

As an occasional seller, your customer's cleared payment will be Held for 21 days against customer satisfaction.

You can still use the Held funds to print a shipping label through Paypal.

And as you probably know, you get a 5% discount from counter prices on most parcel services when you do.

As a returning seller, do you already have a Small Business Solutions card? You will need it.

The Hold  is annoying and paternalistic, but it's not personal.
