Posting boats

[DrownedDesertRat]

Is it possible to post a boat on eBay without having to pay the huge charges they want? I mean, if I try to sell my boat for $200, I'll be paying half that in their charges. It wouldn't be worthwhile.

i think you're mistaken, if you put your boat on ebay and it sold for $200, here are your fees:

insertion fee: $3.60

final value fee: $4.81

total: $8.41

im assuming you list it for $200 and get one bid . . if you started it less than $200, it would be less . . . also you get one picture free, if you add more and dont have them on another web server , its 25 cents each i think . .

It would list under eBay Motor's which, if I remember from last time I checked, was much more expensive.

As a matter of fact, directly from their website:


Step 2: Review the fees and submit your listing
Fees in this category are fixed. eBay charges sellers a $40.00 insertion fee at the time of listing, and a $40.00 Transaction Services Fee at the time of the first bid on your listing (or if you set a reserve price, at the time of the first bid over that reserve) Please see eBay Fees for details.

Listing fees
Insertion fee:
$ 40.00
Total listing fee:
$ 40.00
