I think it should be easier to figure out eBay seller's fees. I've been clicking around here for a while and just going in circles.

For instance........all I want to know is how much it will cost me if I list something (drums) and want to have a reserve bid set at $4000.  What are my fees if the item does not sell?  I have never sold anything on eBay but I think I can figure out if my drums sell for $4500 (reserve is met) that I will pay a percentage of that to eBay.  I can look that up...........somewhere here in your fee structure.

Back to my first point above..............I see where I can go to learn how to list my reserve bid item but I can't see the fee.....again...if my item doesn't sell...for instance.

Thanks.

Hi Gary.. If you use the reserve feature rather than start the item at the lowest amount you will sell for , its 1% on $4000. ($40.) whether sells or not. Buyers dislike reserves.

Sells at $4500. the final value fee would be the auction max of $250.

In addition PayPal will take 3% on receiving payment and will hold your funds for 21 days.
