Did you know that if you list an item on eBay for 99 cents, you will clear 14 cents more than someone who lists an item for $1.00? Likewise, the person who lists an item for $9.99 will clear 24 cents more than the seller who lists for $10. It’s a good idea to take eBay’s insertion fee chart into consideration when deciding the starting price for your item.
When you list an item for $25 you pay twice the insertion fee you would have paid with a $24.99 price tag, and it doubles again when you jump from $49.99 to $50. The fee goes up at by $1.20 again at $200, and at $500; so pricing at $199.99 and $499.99 will save you money.
It may not seem monumental. But multiply that by the number of items you might list this year. It can certainly add up. Another twist on the saying, “a penny saved is a penny earned.”
