Wife to husband: "You really need to sell your paintball equipment so we can spend saturdays going antique shopping!"

Husband to wife: "OK, I'll put it up on EBAY and see if it sells. If it does, we'll go antique shopping. If it doesn't, can I still play?"

Wife to husband: "OK, but you have to try to sell it first."

Aww man! rictus...why the heck you didn't post that up earlier so I could get in on it. Got a couple of million laying around burnin a hole in my pocket too... http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/awink.gif

[Nitroduck]

Do you realize he's gonna pay $65000 for listing that ?

[Dubstar112]

nitroduck... seriously? ouch!

[shartley]

Sorry.... that is not correct. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

And if it WAS correct, that is NOTHING compared to the $9M he would be getting FOR it (if it sold). http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif You have to keep things in perspective.

And when looked at in THAT light, it is nothing. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

But did I miss something? I looked and it seems that this is a JOKE and not serious. EBAY said that there was NO bidders for this item... go figure!

And that being the case, does EBAY charge for things that do NOT sell? Will he be charged the $65000 for listing that item, as Nitroduck suggests?

I would say not...

<font face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Taken directly from EBAY:
If you're a seller, you'll be charged:

An insertion fee. This fee is between 30 cents and $3.30, depending on your opening bid.

A Final Value (final sale price) fee at the end of your auction. This fee generally ranges from 1.25% to 5% of your final sale price. </font>

And what was the final sale price? $0.00

You can read more at their site:
http://pages.ebay.com//help/basics/n-fees.html

And it is pretty clear that this person only gets charged his Insertion Fee. No sale was made. I would say that because of the opening bid price, he would be out a grand total of $3.30.

[scarpa43]

So you pay just for listing?

I thought that if nobody bid on the item Ebay did not charge you.

[cphilip]

No fee for no sale. Only if it sells. But I am thinking of putting a mag up on there for a cool 2 Mil. I will gladly pay the Fee!

I'll let you guys know when it's up! http://www.automags.org/ubb/wink.gif

[shartley]

http://pages.ebay.com/help/sellerguide/selling-fees.html

You will see the following (and much more):

<font face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">When you list your item for sale at eBay, you pay a non-refundable Insertion Fee. Insertion Fees vary by the type of listing you choose:</font>

This is what happens when people don't actually READ what sites have to say. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif Just like with any contract (which is what you enter into when you list on EBAY), you must read ALL the fine print. And this was not even FINE print, it was right out in the open.

If you list a product on EBAY, you pay ONLY the Insertion Fee. But not the SALE fee. You are only charged THAT if the item actually sells. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif And that is according to their own infomation.

Yes sorry I thinking about the percentage fee for sale wich is what Nitroduck was trying to calcualte I think. Insertion fees are standard. Course he can relist it once for the same fee (I think) since it didn't sell! But...I think I would drop the price a bit don't you

[EmagKing137]
