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

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?

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
