$60 to sell a trike?

[OldSchoolin86]

Ebay is out of their damn minds! I didn't realize how high the fees are these days. I sold my 250r for $840 (worth $900 easily) and am now going to pay $61.50 in fees! Worst of all I think I have a deadbeat buyer too!!!

$31.50 to list it, $30 for a final fee. I really screwed up this time, had I read the fee structure I would have listed it on Craigs list for free or just sat on it untill I found a buyer locally.

Once again I've found a personal reason to not use ebay as a seller.

isnt it cheaper to list it as parts? i know a LOT of people do that. they say "i'm listing this 84 atc250r under parts because it has a flat tire" etc.... normally they get away with it. flat tires, no titles, missing pieces, they all work

Unexpected costs suck. I tried to ship these shirts out this morning expecting it to be $2-3 each like last time. It was almost $6! It would have cost me like $150. Same packaging and everything as last time. I'm re-packaging everything now trying to get the cost down but it's still going to cost more than I was expecting.

Was the R the air fooler you bought from my friend?

Dammit far as shipping I started using DHL and the fees are cheaper that way. fee's for selling a complete machine is crazy high I sold a jet ski this way and payed almost 120.00 it really sucked

On the ebay if you sell your bike in the ebay motors parts section they will charge you 2.9% of the total price that you get and about $10.00 to list it depending on your starting price.

Hey Dammit, go to the post office and get the priority flat rate envelopes, for free and they only charge you $4.05 for as much as you can get inside of it. Alittle tape helps.

I actually got busted for listing a machine in parts once so that's why I didn't do it this time. It just sucks that they want so much. I guess I won't be using them again.

Dammit!
Yeah I'm selling the air R. Resently learned somethings about my back that makes me think running MX isn't the best idea anymore. That was the only reason I bought it so now I'm selling it so I can buy my wife a quad. PM me if you want the details, it's an interesting story, lol.

"you are a dick head"

That's what I got from the guy who won my auction, didn't pay and refused to communicate. I tell ya, some people are true assholes. I recieved that message after I filled a non-paying bidder complaint and gave him negative feedback. I'm out a possible $60, for sure $30 and I could have sold it last week. God help us.

well after the non paying dispute you wait 7 days, they will refund the final value fee and then let you relist it.
I sold one of mine and it had a dead beat bidder too. well i didnt wait i just hit relist now. and then it double charged me. well ebay said we wont refund the charge, but after about 2 weeks of emails i got them to. so if you aint happy. just keep sending that email to them to let them know. they may help you out.

With a little luck I might have sold the trike last night to a local guy.
