Hi

I've got loads of old car crap in my garage that would be useful to someone & some magazines in binders etc. When you advertise them on ebay how do ebay make their money? I guess they get a percentage How is this sorted out?

Thanks

They charge a sellers fee, negligible amount depending on price sold at.
Can't remember off hand but about $1 for anything upto a hundred quid or so. (just include it in your p&p costs that the buyer pays )

So how do you pay them?

Hi Paul

Lodge your credit card details with them or set up a direct debit - both perfectly secure. They'll take the money from you once the sales's gone through. Fees are 25p up to £10 and then 25p plus 3.3% of the sale price over £10.

Like said above...register your credit card.
Ebay send you electronic receipts,etc,etc.

If you've never used Ebay a few tips.

Specify postage costs clearly.
Include photos if poss
Answer emails promptly
Stuff like mags etc,only sell to the uk,too much hassle otherwise.

I will bear those tips in mind thanks I'm not even going to bother advertising anything until I've taken decent pictures.

Thanks

Good code chaps

I got into eBay just over a year ago and love it. Sold and bought plenty with no grief at all. Saved a few quid as well.

Best of luck.
