On Tuesday September 2, 2008 at Midnight Eastern Time, the new eBay Canada pricing schedule for Motors goes into effect. It is a permanent change.
Changes to Insertion Fees
eBay Canada is removing Insertion Fees on the first four vehicles you list in a 12-month period. Starting with the fifth vehicle you list, the Insertion Fee will be $20 (C$ or US$).
After 12 months, the counter resets and you get another four vehicle listings with zero Insertion Fees.
Please see the table below for full details.
Only Pay if You Are Successful
A Transaction Services Fee is charged when one of the following occurs:
- A bid is placed on a no reserve auction-style listing
- A bid greater than the reserve price amount is placed (for reserve price auctions)
- A buyer clicks and confirms the Buy it Now button
- The seller accepts a submitted Best Offer
- The buyer accepts a Second Chance Offer from the seller
When one of these events occurs, eBay will charge the seller a Transaction Services Fee.
In short, we only succeed when you succeed.
Also note, the Transaction Services Fee varies with the type of vehicle. Like the Insertion Fee, the amount charged depends on how many vehicles you list in a 12-month period. For example, with Cars & Trucks, the Transaction Services Fee on the first four vehicles is $125 (C$ or US$). After the first four listings, the fee drops to $100 (C$ or US$).
Please see the table below for full details.
All Vehicles and Transaction Formats Included
With the first four listings, Insertion Fees will be zero for all types of vehicles. Starting with the fifth vehicle listing, Insertion Fees vary with the type of vehicle. See table below for details.
As mentioned above, Transaction Services Fees vary with the type of vehicle, and drop starting with your fifth vehicle listing. See table below for details.
This new fee structure applies to any vehicle listed on eBay Canada. It also applies whether the seller uses an Auction-style, Fixed Price, or Best Offer format.
