Ebay Questions..Pay-Pal Fees

JoshL

If a person wanted to sell a coin for $100 does anyone know what the total fees would be from Ebay? What if the buyer wants to purchase the coin with Pay-Pal? How much more will that add to the fees?

I assume you would figure in the fees when you price a coin.

Do most people have a "standard" price for shipping and handling (assuming it is just one coin)? I assume you would then also have to add in insurance.

I have never sold anything on Ebay...so I am still reading their site.

Thanks for your time...

What I have not figured out is how Pay-Pal Charges on Ebay.

Looks like Ebay Fees are pretty straight forward.

PayPal charges 2.9% plus 30 cents. If it's a foreign buyer, it's 3.9% plus 30 cents.

Here's a very handy ebay/PayPal fee calculator:

I have a personal account with paypal. Receiving limit is $500.00 per month,
which re-zero's at the same time each month. This service is FREE

If you "upgrade" the 2.9% + .30 per sale is accurate

Hmm with a merchant account with Pay-Pal I guess there is not a limit? Hopefully not - $500 would not be very much if you are selling.

Why does it matter what the starting bid price is? I noticed if the starting bid price is $100 and the final sale is $200 then your fee is lower than if you starting bid price is $200 and your final sales price is $200? Why is that?

From the calculator -
Enter the starting bid price --->
Enter the final sales price --->
Enter the shipping amount --->

Because the eBay listing fees are higher if you start the minimum bid higher.
