No
I'm thinking of putting mine up on there, any tips or advice?

Say if it sold at say £500, what do ebay charge?
I know paypal charge too, so from £500 how much do i have to minus off from ebay and paypal charge.

One thing I have learnt and with an expensive item I will send it through RMSD, royal mail special delivery as I think it's trackable and insured?
 
I sold a lens cant remember the exact amount, but I remember the bill being about £45 and then there were the paypal fees!
 
Well I sold my 400D plus a load of xtra`s on ebay. The first winning bidder wanted it shipped to Africa :gag: Ebay in fact contacted me prior to posting and warned me not to dispatch the goods and to relist the item again. The next auction ended and again it was terminated by Ebay as the winning bidder had not had permission from the account holder, apparently it was a young kid buying it :gag: I contacted the next highest bidder who said he would buy it. All listing fees were put back into my Paypal with no probs. I still recieved hoax Ebay emails from the first guy though demanding that he had bought the item and the usual what is your bank details I will pay it in directly to your account. yeh right!! Just be careful that is all I can say. And yes I would still use Ebay :D
as foir charges it will depend on how you list it, buy it now, reserve etc etc.

It depends on which format you use - auction or Buy it Now. The BIN fees are quite a bit less than the auction ones for an item of that sort of price, although the auction charges are capped at, iirc £40. All in you're looking at about £60 for an auction with the Paypal fees.

i know you were asking about ebay , why not sell it on here ?? :)
 
thanks

around £50 in fees from ebay and paypal, ouch from a £500 sale. that's 10% in total!!!

i had listed it on here before and then tried to list it on another site and was not allowed to list it on other site with it being here, so it's now in archive here.

thanks again. if i don't get much more interests else where will try here again if not might just keep it
