Questions
- Does eBay charge UK private sellers to sell a guitar?
- eBay UK’s fee page says UK-based private sellers pay no final value fee and no per-order fee. A 3% international fee applies when an item sells abroad without eBay International Shipping. Business sellers pay different fees.
- What does eBay US charge to sell a guitar?
- For Guitars & Basses, eBay US charges a final value fee of 6.7% of the total sale, including postage and sales tax, up to $7,500, and 2.35% on the part above that, plus $0.40 per order over $10.
- What does Reverb charge to sell a guitar?
- Reverb’s help centre says UK sellers pay an all-in 5% fee with no separate payment processing fee, plus 1% if the buyer is outside the UK. US sellers pay a 5% selling fee on the total including shipping (minimum $0.50, maximum $500) plus payment processing of 3.19% + $0.49.
- Why is there no number for a shop trade-in?
- Each shop sets its own trade-in offer and none publishes a rate, so that row shows no number rather than a guess.
