Half.com Sellers...what are the fees?

[welovedis]

I was planning on listing some books and videos on half.com, but their website is taking me around in circles! What the heck are the fees for listing/selling items on their site? If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it!

I just checked the last several transaction of sales I had and I'm paying 15% of the sales price in commission.

I love half.com by the way. I've made more than $600 since Xmas selling books, videos and CDs. It's the best way to clean out the attic I've found so far!

Cyndiu-Thanks! It is really hard to find that info anywhere! Do you think you do better selling on half.com, than just listing the same items on eBay? Just curious why you chose put your items there instead. Thanks!

I prefer half.com as opposed to eBay. On half.com you don't pay fees unless your item sells. With eBay you're paying a listing fee regardless and then final value fees on top if your item sells.

I like half.com for books and cds and videos because they can stay active for as long as it takes (virtually) with ebay if something doesn't sell within the auction time you have to relist again and again, plus as the last poster said you don't pay if the item doesn't sell. I actually have been using half.com since before ebay bought them and have been very happy with all my transactions.
