I'm posting on behalf of someone who's a bit wary of a possible transaction, but I just want to confirm something first for her.
She's wanting to purchase a larger item from a different state on a page that's not ebay related. She want's to be protected somewhat and the seller has offered to list it as a BIN on here for her, as long as she pays the fees. The total cost INCLUDING courier is $500. The seller has stated fees will be between $70-$80. Is that correct?
I personally don't think she should go through with it, and if the seller is giving her a high estimate of fees in order to put her off from requesting it be listed here, then I'd like to tell her. If it's a fair estimate then I can say so.
Thx in advance 🙂

Assuming free listing, FVF would be 9.9% of total price including shipping, plus Paypal transfer fees of 2.4% plus $0.30. Total costs on a $500 item would therefore be in the vicinity of $63, which is considerably less than the $70 to $80 quoted.
By listing an item on eBay, eBay will then take a percentage of any added costs, though.
If the seller lists it for $570, after fees they will be left with $499.59. (That is presuming PayPal costs were not already considered, if they were, the seller need only account for the eBay fee, which an extra $55-odd would do if the FVF percentage would be at the maximum rate).
