That is over 5%I sold a part for $500.00 usd including shipping. I paid a fee of $26.00. Kim
Is there still no fee for sending to friends?
Man I'm telling you, I"m sending it to Mount Dora Fl. I collected 26.00 and the PP fee was 1.44. You do the math.
I have lots to sell soon....eBay has always been good but the fees suck....haven’t sold on there in over 4 years or so, think I’ll post them here and on FB sites instead when I’m ready.
I have noticed as far as cars for sale, FB marketplace has CL beat all to heck!!!! Parts? Tx is Chevy country, hard to find any Mopar parts here on anything.Papal fees are so worth the convience for me. Just never understand all the crying about it. As a buyer I always assume I’m paying the fee. Not a big deal.
As far as eBay goes stop selling there if the fees are too much for world wide advertisement. Better yet list the stuff in Facebook marketplace for free.
Good response.When using Paypal, list any item over the cost of what you really want for it. That way if a buyer wants an item & uses Paypal you still get your final price.
As Long as shipping isnt some unreasonable amount like 19.99 on a $15 part....
Your best bet is USPS flat rate shipping. On the larger things, you just have to shop around.Have you purchased shipping lately? It's making me recycle stuff, rather than sell it because of exactly this issue. It's not worth selling something for less than about $35 because of the cost and nuisance of shipping it.
Boy I bit every postal shipper or carrier that had to handle it was cussing you. lolPaypal has had instances where they charge sellers an incorrect fee. Happened to me a couple weeks ago. Buyer in TX and I got hit with an international fee. Sent an email and it got fixed.
Crap happens sometimes.
Shipping is STUPID expensive now. Things have a changed and prices are not going back down. Be creative with searching out shipping alternative you have. Shipping an intake in a $19 USPS flat rate game board box as an example.
Even greyhound isn't all that good anymore.
While the USPS Flat Rate Boxes are a decent deal in the shipping world, they're rarely suitable for car parts. The cardboard itself is thin and rips easily, and the boxes are too small to hold much -- especially when you have to add "the 3" of collapsible material" required to conform to their insurance requirements and expect your buyer's claim to be paid when it shows up damaged.
The entire system is just rigged against small biz & individuals trying to make it.
God help you if ya have to fle a USPS claim. Tried to file claim for parts they damaged during delivery last month. Website worked great for me until i tried to file claim online. Drop down boxes suddenly would not work. Of course they claim issue is with my PC. Contacted them on jan 3rd thru local PO trying to file claim. Of course they had no forms. Went with direct contact and said ok then send me claim info. by mail.
Still have received zilch.
