Buy it Now question

Coolstavi · 07-06-2012, 11:27 PM

Have a quick question about the Buy it Now feature. I believe I can do this but I want to make sure so I don't waste money if I am wrong. Anyway, when setting a buy it now listing with multiple items in it do you just pay the one time listing fee of .50 cents or do you get charged .50 cents each time one of the items sell? It looks like it's just a one time fee but I want to make sure.

You are only charged the one time listing fee for multiple items in a BIN or BIN/BO.

However, something to note, let's say you've got a BIN of $10, and you've got 10 items for sale, each at $10. (so you've got a total of $100 for sale) If a buyer buys all 10 items in one single transaction, the Final Value Fee (FvF) is 10 x the fee on $10, not the fee for 1 x $100. The difference is not negligible, because low dollar items have a much higher FvF than high dollar items. That's the one thing I really dislike about eBay BIN.
