Hi looking for help / advise
After nearly 10 years I finally have 100 posts so feel ok about asking the question
Looking to sell 3 sets of rods and looking at eBay as one of the optionS
What does it cost me to sell a set of rods.
If they sell for 600 how much do I actually get - how much does eBay / pay pal take
I would like to know so I can offer them for cash at a competitive price
Many thanks for any help

10 % Ebay and 3 % PayPal but every month they do a £1 listing so better waiting for one to come up then you only pay PayPal + £1

Exactly this
The £1 listing offer is great and can save you loads but the item must sell in its first listing period. If you put stuff on as 'buy it now' you can set a price (and accept offers to your discretion) which gives you a month on your 1st listing time limit. After that you're back to standard rates.

If decide to sell on ebay I would not post if you can help it. I am seeing it more and more where the buyers are putting in claims and winning

Dont think that is quite right, the £1 listing fee is just that, the cost to list, you will still have to pay the 10% final fee, at £600 you will pay 13%.
Also they charge the 10% on postage.

If they pay by paypal and collect you have no proof to say they collected and they can still claim against you.
Not fishing by I listed something as cash on collection and the listing was pulled and I got a warning from ebay, you must offer Paypal as an option.
Getting it sent with a fully trackable, signed for service is the safest IMO. Advertise it that way and hopefully it will put off the scammers?

Have a read it's free to list and a maximum of £1 to sell. Paypal fees still apply though.

I would add to that make sure you insure high value items and be prepared if it goes missing to have to claim the money back yourself and being out of pocket to Paypal in the interim.
I sold a set of ATT dongles many years ago, went insured signed for Royal Mail 1st Class. They were supposably signed for but the seller denied it was him so he got refunded by PP, took me 3 weeks to get my money back.

I'm waiting for another, hasn't been one for a few weeks.

He's right, it's £1 final fee, not listing fee

Might be account specific? That link was sent to me Friday, offer runs for 4 days and ends tonight.
No harm clicking it to see if it works?

In terms of disputes the buyer will win 99 percent of the time.

Just come unstuck very recently selling some fishing gear. Without going into detail, buyer demanded a refund into his bank account that day. Unfortunately he picked the item up from my home so I got the ' I know where you live routine' I paid him the money. Too much hassle now I'm in my 60's. Won't be selling on ebay anymore.
