Does anyone know when the final value fees went up to 9%? I thought it was quite a bit lower than that...?
I haven't been that active as a seller lately, but did just sell a lens and noticed the final value fee was close to 10% and did some digging. The fee schedule below was NOT very easy to find. No wonder!!!!!
It must be nice to operate in a virtual monopoly.
(Posting this here as somewhat of a timestamp, as it stands to reason eBay will raise their prices again eventually)
I think I will try my luck on Craigslist first from now on..

Here's an example of a final value fee calculation for an auction-style listing:
1.You sell an item for $100.00.
2.Your final value fee is 9% of the final sale price, which is $9.00.
The maximum final value fee for auction-style listings is $50. For example, if you sell an item for $1,000, you’ll pay only $50, even though 9% of $1,000 is $90.
Here's an example of a final value fee calculation for a fixed price listing:
1. You sell an item in the Electronics category for $1,500.00.
2. On the first $50.00 you pay 8%, which is $4.00.
3. On the next $950.00, you pay 5%, which is $47.50.
4. On the remaining $500.00, you pay 2%, which is $10.00.
5. Your final value fee is $61.50 ($4.00 + $47.50 + $10.00).
