Ebay

If you are selling on eBay Australia, the fee structure has changed significantly. From May 12, eBay is rolling out free selling for casual sellers, and restructuring its plans for everyone else. This guide covers exactly what you will pay — no marketing fluff, just the numbers. We have already covered how to choose between eBay and Gumtree as an Australian reseller and how to optimise your eBay listings for faster sales. This post focuses on the one thing that directly determines your bottom line: fees. ...
