Insertion Fee VS Listing Fee - What's the difference?

mastoi — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 01:55:20 GMT

Recently I looked at my account and was surprised to see a fee charged with two different names. $8 for Insertion Fee and $0.11 for Listing Fee. Aren't they the same thing?

No idea. I'm on Managed Payments, don't list or relist 250k items per month, and don't incur any listing fees.

There are fees that apply if you use multiple categories or sub-titles, so that might be it.

Thanks for that. I list a maximum of two items per month, similar prices, but the funny thing is they charged me both fees for the same listing, a secondhand car listed at $1,500 in auction fotmat, which I then sold through another format and ended the listing.

These fees should be clarified, I mean it's not the $0.11 that's gonna make me poor, it's the principle, is it a fixed fee or on a scale? Why are we actually paying it?

They are clarified, you may just want to take your time to look them up.

"They are clarified, you may just want to take your time to look them up."

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Would you care to show me where they are listed together on one page?

Thanks. It just mentions the "Insertion and final value fees", no mention of listing fees as well.

Did you look at the link, your fee's are both on that page.

OP needs to learn how to scroll down

mastoi — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 02:54:17 GMT

Yes, I looked at the link, I think you're confusing Listing Fee with Final Value Fee. There is no mention of LISTING FEE.SC2SC3SC1SC4

$0.11 is adding BIN to an auction

Sugar249 expects everyone to be the expert that they think they are. If that were the case, then these forums wouldn't be needed. I'm sorry that I don't know the answer to your issue as I've never tried to sell a car on ebay. Hopefully someone will come along that has.

Can't be any clearer than that.

Thanks, @"tipping-point"!

I have finally figured it out. BIN (Buy It Now) Fee of $0.11 is added to an auction if you want someone to buy it before the auction, however, it is referred to as a Buy It Now Fee on the Fees page and as Buy It Now Listing Fee on your invoice.

This is all these people had to explain.

This is the whole point of a community page, to ask questions (sometimes dumb questions) and others to help OPs understand the terms which they might not be looking at from the right angle etc. This is not a Facebook page where you have to be the smart one of the group and ridicule others.

I'm disappointed that not a single person who responded except you, answered the actual question.

Have a nice day!

Maybe if you explained the full circumstances, and what category you were selling in? We are not privy to your listings, nor are we telepathic.

If you read the links provided, as you claimed, the answer to your question was provided long ago, by sugar, JKB and twyngwyn. in that order, but for some reason you refused to accept the answer and wish to riducule the responses.

Next time advise what language you would like responders to use, as it is obviously not english.

Oh! It must be international raspberry day,

You were given the answer but obviously not spoon fed it enough

Perhaps ask eBay next time
