the fees are calculated on a single or many sales, this amount was for ? just the meter ?
For that $17.28 fee that I posted above the sale was $112.00 + $15.42 shipping (my understanding is that eBay charges fees on the sales amount plus any shipping the buyer pays). So $17.28 fees on a $127.42 purchase = 13.5% in fees.
The BM257s sold on eBay for $85 (shipping was included) and eBay charged $12.66 in fees. So about 15% in fees (plus I paid $10 in shipping).
With some googling I saw some reddits from back in October about eBay doing away with fees, but there were no solid details ever given. I couldn't find anything on eBay itself about them getting rid of fees. Maybe there was some promotion or something back then? If anyone can point me to solid info about a fee elimination or reduction...
Then again I only sell occasionally, so it wouldn't improve my life very much. But $10 here and $10 there adds up to a decent lunch.
Anyway, I have way too much multimeter related stuff in my workshop - actually, a garage with a lot of junk in it (I blame Dave for my strange obsession with multimeters), so I might be posting more offers than usual. A lot of it is low end stuff (Aneng/Zoyi - or worse). Those might end up being more like giveaways than sales.
