Can I avoid eBay fees by selling locally?
Local pickup exists, but fees still apply. For a guaranteed $0 in fees, post the item free on Brixaz — buyers pick up locally, there is no commission or payment processing, and you keep 100% of the price.
Does eBay charge its fee on shipping and sales tax?
Yes. The 13.6% final value fee is calculated on the full amount the buyer pays — item price, shipping, handling, and sales tax — plus the $0.30–$0.40 per-order fee. Offering “free shipping” does not avoid the fee; it just moves the cost into your item price.
How many free listings do I get on eBay?
Most sellers get 250 zero-insertion-fee listings per month without a store subscription; insertion fees apply beyond that. Watch category exceptions too — some categories charge more or less than the standard 13.6% final value fee.
