eBay Cuts Auction Listing Fees For Casual Sellers

NEW YORK (AP) - Another fee change is coming to eBay. This one
is aimed at sellers who occasionally auction off items on the
online marketplace.
San Jose, Calif.-based eBay Inc. says users will soon be able to
offer up to five items for auction every 30 days without paying
fees eBay usually charges to list goods. Listing fees usually run
10 cents to $4, depending on the item.
EBay users will still have to pay fees for items sold. Under a
new fee schedule that applies to no-listing-fee items, sellers pay
a flat 8.75 percent of the sale price, with a cap of $20 per item.
The change announced Tuesday takes effect June 16 and does not
apply to fixed-price listings. After the five no-fee items, users
are subject to standard fees.
