Asked by Nick P. - Fri Nov 21 21:55:27 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Actually, it has nothing to do with that. The person you are bidding against had placed a bid significantly higher than what was shown. It is called proxy bidding. It will put his bid to whatever is needed to win the bidding at the moment. You then come in and start bidding. It shows that this other person has outbid you. It will continue to do so until you over bid them. Example: Items bidding starts at $5. Someone proxy bids $45. It shows that they're at $5 because that's the highest they need to win the auction currently. You come in and bid $10. It now shows that they've bid $11 as it's still less than $45, but enough to keep winning. You add another $10, now it shows they're at $22. Once you bid $46, then it will show… [cont.]

How does ebay shipping for a video game work?
Q. On ebay, some sellers say that when you buy a video game, you pay FLAT shipping for the first item, then shipping is free for additional items you buy. Does Ebay automatically calculate it so that you only pay for shipping once? Thanks

A. "Does Ebay automatically calculate it so that you only pay for shipping once?" No, the individual seller will send a combined invoice for all the items together.

How much would ebay charge me to sell an ebook in British pounds?
Q. I wanted to start making some money from ebay selling mp4 players,electronics and ebooks so how much will ebay charge me to sell an ebook.
Asked by answergeek - Tue Aug 14 13:22:51 2007 - - 3 Answers - 6 Comments

A. eBays fees are dependent on two things. Listing costs and commission. There are established charges for an eBay listing. The more complex the listing, the more the cost. If you have a simple listing, text, no pictures, no reserve, no starting bid, that would be the cheapest. But add pictures, put in a background, pay for premium listing, add a reserve, put the starting bid at something more then minimal amount, and that costs more. As you build your listing, eBay will keep a running total of what it will cost to list your item, and you have the option to review that cost, and change your listing appropriately before you incur any charges. The listing fees you have to pay even if your item does not sell. Now, the commission. eBay… [cont.]

A. Adrian C: The two most useful links to see 'WHAT'S HOT' on ebay are: 1. This site lists all the 'hot categories' of items that are currently being sold. 2. This is a PDF file/list of all their hot selling items; Review it and you should be able to determine what product(s) are hot, that you can sell, as well as see what products are 'cold' and are not sellling as much...thus knowing what to stay away from. Hope this helps? RME

For eBay purchases, what is the fastest way to pay if I have no more money in my Paypal account?
Q. I've been purchasing a lot on eBay recently, and I have no more funds on PayPal. Fund transfers from bank accounts take 3-5 business days, but I want to pay for the items now so they can be shipped sooner. What is the fastest payment option that takes less than 3-5 days? Also, if I withdraw from my PayPal account money that I don't have, will I be charged a fee, or will I just owe PayPal?
Asked by John - Sat Aug 8 15:02:35 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hi, Credit card is an option & so is instant transfer from a bank account (backed up by the credit card if the ach transaction fails). Withdrawing to a bank account doesn't have a charge from PayPal...but you should check with your bank to see if they charge for incoming ACH transfers (most do not).

How much should I charged on ebay for shipping and handling?
Q. This is my first time that I am selling on ebay.I am selling four little girls used dresses on ebay.The starting bid is 99cents. The box weight is 2-3 pounds and I am planning to send item normal delivery.My fee on ebay to sell item is $3.10, my box cost $1.75. How much should I charged for shipping and handling?
Asked by charisma - Thu Apr 19 02:40:27 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. That is the problem with starting your auction at .99. You should never open for less than what you would comfortably accept for the item. Unless you're 100% going to get massive bidding, you might very well end at .99--and if you don't have a huge store that makes up for it with cross sales, you're going to lose money. You aren't supposed to make up the eBay fees in the S&H. S=actual postage cost. You must know the weight of the package before listing your item--guess and you can come out way behind. H=handling fees, but some things that you can ethically cover are: 1. Cost of packing materials (1.75 is WAY too much for a box, btw) If you are sending priority, your boxes & envelopes are free. Of course your paper & packing peanuts… [cont.]

A. Sellers usually sell things from their own home and some drop-ship from other companies. Sign up for PayPal and use it to pay for your item. They have buyer protection. I have had over 800 transactions on ebay and haven't been scammed once.

Asked by snapple - Sun Apr 25 17:32:31 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It really depends on how you list the item. If you list it as a 'buy it now' the percentages are based on what category your item falls into. If you list it as an auction the final value fee is 9% up to $50.00. The best thing to do would be to read on ebay's website. I am including a link to selling fees: Hope this helps. You need to check out all the fees, insertion, pictures, featured and all that also.

What are the best alternative online marketplaces to ebay?
Q. Or do they effectively have a monopoly? I now find that ebay's seller fees cut too far into my margins on low value items. To rub salt in my wounds, they charge again for accepting payment by Paypal (part of the same company). The final straw has come from them imposing tight limits on the number of responses a seller can make to enquiries after a listing expires or sells out. Ebay say this is to protect members from being spammed - Any fool can see it is really about protecting themselves from sales off ebay - leaving sellers with no means of contacting their potential customer. Recent fee increases have been ludicrously high, and I only hope that it backfires on them, with sellers doing as I am doing and seeking out an alternative. I… [cont.]

A. Hi Pete! Couple of ideas: 1) Try amazon.com - works similar to eBay's 'buy it now' concept. However they too charge fees that some may find exorbitant. 2) Open your OWN web store. Not as complicated as it sounds; you'll need a hosting company that provides free shopping cart / catalogue software. You could choose to get set up with a merchant account for credit cards, or just take payment by money order. That way, you're in control! Check out vervehosting.com and colinstone.com for some ideas. You'll never know until you try! Kind regards.

A. Only if your business model is unsustainable. Try setting up your own website and see how much that costs. See how much a provider charges you for processing credit card payments. PayPal's fees are reasonable for the service they provide. You cover your overhead by charging more for your item. If charging more for your item means no one will buy it, then your business model is unsustainable.

Not all of these codes stay valid. Some have expired or are valid for everyone that uses them. Actually, codes on eBay are preselected for different groups of members. Some will receive one kind of FALL code while some will receive one kind of XMAS code while others cld receive both. And they cld only be used once. These are randomly sent, but very seasonal. You'll receive the codes in your eBay messages and in an email with the details. Those are guaranteed ones.
