    Thanks OP, just clicked on your link and accepted the offer. Last time I sold something was about 6 months ago.

    Do we still get hit with PayPal fees? Otherwise it's not 100% free.

    Still Paypal fees though.

    • BlazinPast on 20/01/2017 - 00:17

      only around 2.5% though. useful for selling large items that require pick-up with cash in hand.

    Good deal, just sold something on eBay for the first time since ever and has no idea they pocketed 10%. Last time I sell something on eBay unless there is a promo like this on

    • SBOB on 20/01/2017 - 06:23
      +3

      though based on my experience, most of the time selling on ebay returns way more than >10% more than selling via gumtree/facebook groups where its free

      • noz on 20/01/2017 - 07:20
        +2

        I hate to admit it, but this is also true in my experience. You can usually get a decent amount for your goods on eBay, especially if you aren't in a rush to sell.

      • John on 20/01/2017 - 11:57
        +2

        Gumtree takes an extreme amount of patience (dealing with the lowballers and waiting for the right buyer). Ebay is perfect for expediting the sale.. and if its a highly sought item (eg. iPhone) I have had great experience with $1 starting auction!

        • SBOB on 20/01/2017 - 12:23

          same
          if I'm selling something I usually just want to be rid of it or I've upgraded.

          So low $ starting prices, small amount of effort in listing layout/details and letting bidding work out the value has not failed me yet (though only ~40+ sales history)

    • chyawala on 20/01/2017 - 08:43
      +3

      I thought it was 10% plus 2.5% credit card funded PayPal payment (which is the usual nearly all the time, and you are forced to accept this payment method), PLUS the sum of those percentages on postage aswell. This effectively makes it 15.6% ($12.50) on an $80 item with $20 postage. You net $67.50 on an $80 item. So even if you compare a cash sale to claiming 10 or even 20% more fetched on eBay (questionable), looks like you still end up better off or the same with a cash sale.

      • SBOB on 20/01/2017 - 09:31
        -1

        better off or the same with a cash sale

        some pretty assumptive values there, but you're also assuming your cash sale posting (I assume somewhere like gumtree) would attract the same interest/price

        If you're selling something that more than a couple of people want, the bidding process on ebay (plus peoples more likely 'trust' in things like paypal) in my experience, ending up netting way higher prices

        • chyawala on 20/01/2017 - 09:48
          +3

          I'm responding to the comment above regarding fees. I quantitively show with proof that fees are indeed higher. Your responses are very subjective, "way higher prices", yet lack objective proof, and nor do you factor in any equations to justify your comparison.

          Above, people refer to possiblity fetching greater than 10% more on eBay. So you may sell that item for $70 via classifieds etc, or hypothetically get roughly 15% more on eBay. However you would still have less in your pocket by selling it for $80 on eBay as I illustrated above.

    Clicked on the link and it said offer accepted.
    Currently have a camera listed that should get 2k.
    Will the promotion work on it even though it starts tomorrow.
    Got a few more days before it finishes.

      You can check if it worked in My eBay: All Selling. Scroll down to the bottom and under the Promotional Offers banner it will say how many of the "It's FREE to list & sell 10 items this Jan!" offer has been used.

    • ninjanao on 20/01/2017 - 19:18
      +1

      I have been told (via the ebay chat) that no you can't list an item via "good till cancelled" but I can't see anything in the T&C that says that. It is a bit unclear if the item needs to be purchased within the time period to qualify. The T&C states the "item needs to be available for purchase by 23:59 (AEDT) on 19 February 2017 in order to qualify for the promotion". It does however say that if you relist an item outside the promotion period it won't qualify though.
