Ebay £1 selling fees

[markyboy.1967]

Folks, what are the ins and outs of selling through ebay when they run the £1 max selling fees. Is there a catch and is there any conditions i need to meet. Looking at selling my Nikon D4S camera and that seems reasonable. Cheers.

No catches. You have to accept the offer first though.

Still the same eBay issues that one would normally encounter. For something high value now I’m more than likely to sell it to MPB for the hassle free deal.

You can either list it at a fixed price with no time limit to get the £1 fee offer or on a 7 /10 day auction whichever suit . Sold lots of high value items on there for a quid no problems. Also put it in the global program .
I did nearly get ripped a couple of months ago by a buyer from Italy ,turned out to be a stolen/unauthorised account after the camera was posted ,but seller protection simply covered it .. only problem I have had in 15 years and a couple of thousand sales

I use the £1 offer a lot , you certainly don't have to accept the 1st offer.

I don't use eBay much now so-
If i sell via auction or fixed price i only pay them £1 aprox?
I will still have PayPal fees to pay i assume?
I was going to list UK only but will see if i can find out about the Global program mentioned by Jeff, if i can find out how to do this.

Cant see an option for the shipping to the hub for European buyers.

If item does not sell, within 28? days, it will be relisted automatically and then normal ebay fees are paid

 

[markyboy.1967]

I assume i can opt out of this somewhere?

You do have to accept the offer first though....

You can't expect it to read.

Nope you can now list as good till cancelled

Seems to be a mix up here over offers , first off the £1 offer applies to your selling fees . Nothing at all to do with chancer offers .. you still have to pay PayPal fees. .. the global shipping program GSP for short means all you have to do is send the item to e/bays central warehouse and they then courier it onwards and do all customs checks for you . Plus get the item signed for at the other end . If for instance you put £5 postage on it that’s all you pay even if it’s going to New Zealand .
The local e/bay site will advertise it with the buyers full postal charges ,nothing to do with you . All you need when filling in details is box size and weight .. also take into account the £ is p*** poor at the moment making our items a bargain

Nope Item must sell within the first listing period, 30 days, to qualify for the sell for £1 offer.

Not saying you're wrong but I couldn't find anything about 30 days listing period in their T&C's. I do know that recently eBay made all BIN listings good till cancelled.

Yes they are all good till cancelled but if not sold within 30 days the BIN listing ends and is automatically relisted -which is when normal fees apply.

yes that's right the first listing period, good till cancelled falls under the first listing period.

So we agree IF sold within the first listing period-which is 30 days- just pay the £1
If not sold during the first listing period, the item is relisted automatically and normal fees apply

You have to accept the offer of £1 listing fees, it’s not automatically applied.

It would be better to say activate the offer to save confusion.
