<p>[QUOTE=&quot;skippy, post: 597730, member: 5296&quot;]If you have a a lot of stuff to sell you might consider setting up an eBay store as the listing fees are alot less but there is a monthly fee and a higher final value fee. You also get longer Buy It Now listing times I believe.</p><p>See: <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/storefees.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/storefees.html" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/storefees.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Or you can list them the regular individual auction way with no eBay store. It cost a little more to list, which totally depends on how much you start the auction at. But your final value fees are a little less.</p><p>See: <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As a how much to charge for shipping, I recommend taking it to where ever you plan to ship it from FIRST. Weither it&#039;s UPS, USPS, FedEx. In the box, with the packaging material you plan to use in the box or bubble mailer, and have them weigh it and give you an estimate on the weight. Make sure to write down the weight. Because when you list an auction you can enter the weight of the item and let the eBay programing calculate it for the buyer depending on the buyers location. You can also add shipping service options once you have the weight to allow the buyer to choose how fast they want the item shipped. You can give the buyer options for USPS and UPS, for example, IF it is convenient for you to ship from those.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the grey area of eBay auctions is weither you decide to add a flat &quot;handling&quot; charge on top of the shipping charge. Or just eat it and take it as a loss. This could be your cost of the packing material and the gas to take it to the shipping location. And/Or you COULD guesstimate how much your eBay/Paypal fees maybe and add that into this &quot;handling charge&quot;. But I wouldn&#039;t talk about that one in the auction as it&#039;s not really allowed by eBay. See: <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html</a></p><p>That&#039;s why that last one is a grey area. To each there own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen some crazy shipping and &quot;handling&quot; charges, but it comes in a $0.79 bubble mailer with $1 worth of postage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
