How do they work exactly?
Say if i put a car on for 99p and but a BIN of £2000 and took cash on collection.
How much would it be roughly?

I always though it was 10% of sale price up to max of £40 + Listing Fee + Pay Pal fees.

If you took cash on collection, you could ask the buyer to agree to 'mutually withdraw' from the sale and you'll have no fees

When my other half sold her old car a few months ago for about £2k, I'm sure it cost her about £15 in fees?

Can't be Sam, I sold an office set for just over £400 recently and the fees were £40ish. 10% sounds about right, then paypal take a further 4% iirc if you were paid through them.

She only got £100 via PayPal as a deposit, the balance paid in cash on collection.

It might have been more than that, it was a while ago now mate. I'm sure she listed it when they had a free listing weekend?
I'll ask her when she gets home in a bit

I don't think the listing fees are too bad mate. It's always the final value fee that's the killer  Sure I've paid £100+ on cars I've sold on there in the past.

i always list items at 99p, seem to get more bids that way.
can always withdraw auction due to a fire destroying the item

But dont you see that it makes listing items cheaper? The listing fees etc are cheap as hell, I advertised 10 xbox 360 games seperately and payed £1.00 in listing fees. Therefor if none of them sell I've only lost £1.00 and not £loads like before.

If you dont like eBay fees....
I pay over £200 a month to them. But let's face it, if I didn't I'd not be making money otherwise.

You cannot get the amount of viewers to my website i get from ebay for £200
I think i get over 50k viewers a month of my items. To get that to my website id need some serious amount of SEO work to compete with the big companys. Ive been quoted from 600-3k a month to get the site up in google to where i would need to be.
The fees really are fair for a business seller imo. The fees for someone selling a phone once a year, do look excessive, but you wont sell it else where as easy
