Ebay fees
I've not sold on there for a while so I thought I'd check out their fees as I'm about to sell a bike on there. There's a listing fee which is reasonable, then there's fees for extra pics on the listing and a 10% final selling fee. So if I sell the bike for £700 I'm looking at fees of near £100 factoring in a 3% (plus £1.30) reserve fee? Or am I reading their fee guide all wrong? Taking the pi55 a little!
I've just opened a gumtree account and see how it goes

That is about right. I worked out what the fee's were after I had sold my old Blackberry. Close to 15% with paypal fee's! Haven't sold on there since.

eBay fee's are indeed crazy. I had a dig around in the garage the other month, sold a load of little bits and mainly ended up banging my head against the wall with all the people that asked me to post everything I said was collecton only. A load of it sold for peanuts, then you get left with enough in the paypal account to cover the fee's.
I don't kow how these power sellers do it. I often ponder the whole 'selling the contents of my local charity shops on eBay' idea but after I sell a few bits and deal with all the idiots that don't read the description and mess you about, I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a blunt stick.

Power Sellers with an eBay shop get reduced insertion fees and reduced final fees.
I am a power seller with a basic shop, I get 20 free listings a month and 10% discount on final value fees.
Other grades of shop get more free listings and better discounts.

It is, but fees mount up with listing fees, fees for pics etc and there's a 3% reserve fee plus £1.30.
Provisionally sold on Gumtree subject to collection. If it goes through it'd save me £90 in ebay fees.

Gumtree is horrible to use ..... the very best way to sell anything, FREE, is Preloved - I have sold loads of things on there and bought some too - you get a much better class of buyer/seller.
Really, E-Bay is a rip-off for sellers.
