Well…just say in ‘’other place’’ you will ‘’not’’ sell even that much exactly that particular items because from long time on other place like that items is buried deep in the listing…and anyway many don’t sell much anymore similar stuff which sell before…but if you list this without free days you ‘’will be’’ charged much more for the listing…...

had my latest bill,sold 54 stamps for a total of £10.62,got billed 54p (thats not 2%) more like e-bays 10%, looks like 2% or 1d per auction minimum,so when i sell a stamp for 2d, i pay 1d in fee's (50%) why dont they mention the true rate when you click 'gallery'

By my calculations you should've been charged 0.21p on your sales are you sure you didn't use extra's like extra photo's etc which are chargable, it should show on your invoice from eBid.

However if you haven't used the extra's then it's possible you may have been charged around 5.1%

However the way I can see it reaching 54p is if you've done the following
5p = Extra Category
3p x 5 = 15p Extra Photo's
4p = Bold
8p = Subtitle

Plus the FVF of 0.2124 comes to 0.5324p
So it's best to check your invoice to check incase you accidently added these extra items on

hi craig 7501
In answer to your query , i sold 54 stamps all but 1 were under 30p the majority being 2-3 pence ,i am a lifetime seller, and upload stamps on gallery (2% of fv if sold) which is the only extra cost involved.Somersethedge hit the nail on the head in his explanation.
many thanx
p.s forgot to mention that i had 54 invoices for 54 sale's of stamps, all being charged 1p f.v fee

Not having a pop at the site in any way shape or form but

Craig to break even on the commission you have to sell an item at 50p to pay the 1p minimum FVF, anything below 50p increases the percentage taken.... so if I sell a 3p stamp I am actually paying 33% commisson (as the minimum commision is 1p).... but as I have said before if I dont sell them they are "dead stock" so I am happy to make 2p after commisson than throw them in the bin. and one stamp album can contain many hundreds of stamps so when I get fed up of listing my postcards I list stamps for a change.
