Single Quantity, Online Auction Listings

  • The Insertion Fee is based on the starting price for your item.

Reserve Price Auction Listings

  • The Insertion Fee is based on the reserve price of the item you list for sale.
  • When you list a Reserve Price Auction, you will also be charged a Reserve Price Auction Fee, which is also based upon the reserve price. Reserve Price Auction Fees are fully refundable. At the end of the auction, if your item sells, the Reserve Price Auction Fee is refunded to your account.

Online Auction Listings (Dutch Auctions) and Multiple Item Fixed Price Listings
