Default Buying and selling fees

Right say i buy an item for £1000 and want to sell £1200
and eBay fees are say are £160
Does that mean you need to sell for £1360
Plus postage say £15 so £1375
Does this make sense or am I missing something
Thx
Steve

you substract the fees from asking price,and ask yourself if you are happy with the gross profit,it is all up to you.
Some makes hardly any profit after fees ,just make some money on shipping

You decide a reasonable asking price which buyer will accept,then subtract the fees and ask yourself if this is worth it.
Ebay is a buyer 's market,too many sellers chasing too few buyers,there will always be someone willing to sell for less,sad but true.

Hi steve.

Of course, you can also choose to sell the item for less than £1375, but you will make less profit. For example, if you sell the item for £1300, you will make a profit of £100 after fees and postage.

It's important to factor in all of your costs when you're setting a selling price for an item. This includes the cost of the item, the eBay fees, and the postage. You also need to consider the current market price for the item. If you set your selling price too high, you may not be able to sell the item. If you set your selling price too low, you may not make a profit.

There are a number of online tools that can help you calculate the eBay fees and postage for an item. You can also use these tools to compare the selling prices of similar items on eBay. This can help you to set a competitive selling price for your item.
