Not collectable???

[kustomizer99]

Thinking of opening a store (again, I've had them on and off over the years) -- but I see now we can only list fixed pirce or with auctions only for items in the 'collectables' category.

What I'm mostly wanting to sell is old comics.... but comics are not in the collectables category!! Wha...?? Comics are among the most collected items on earth!

Have a look under MUSIC > MEDIA > BOOKS and you'll find that all the books there pertain to musical subject matter.

AND has the same listing cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try to be civil and ignore previous form, but you make it hard.

No idea what you're talking about or trying to say. Can you attempt to clariffy? If you know of some mysterious OTHER 'media' category, then by all means feel free to share.

IF YOU WANT TO SELL COMICS THROUGH A STORE IT WILL COST YOU 5C PER LISTING FOR BIN OR GTC. THE SAME AS ANY OTHER MEDIA IN A STORE - BOOKS, COMICS, CDS, DVDS, ETC. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AS FAR AS EBAY PRICING GOES.

Got it?

Ebay's fee calculator shows that it costs $1.50 to list a comic book at auction, even if a have a store.

I'm still interested in where you're getting your information from however, as the listing fees you're alluding to a much cheaper and I prefer them.

How about posting a link for us?

[kustomizer99]

No, could you please explain in lower case?

Perhaps this will help.

As you can see, Comic books is a sub-category of Books and magazines, which qualifies for a 5c insertion fee.

I think I see where your misunderstanding is now.... I'm not wanting to list BIN or GTS, I'm wanting to list AUCTIONS. You see, that way I stand to maximise my proifits. And profits are the only reason I sell on eBay; it's not like I get enjoyment from seeing my stock not sell so that's not a strategy I pursue.

I hope that's made things a little more clear for you.

Thanks for posting that, hell if I could find it.

Unfortuntately that doesn't apply to auction listings, however. Although I'd love to be proven worng on that point.

Only if you have no idea of the comic's value. If you know list at BIN for what they're worth.
