What's ebay's cut? is it cheaper to reserve or start high?

Question

Is it cheaper to sell my Wii

a) With a starting price of $240

b) With a reserve price of $240

if it matters assume a final price of $300. How much does ebay take in each case.

Answer 1

starting price of $240.00

When you put a reserve minimum on your auction it costs a little more money to do that. The % of the sales price is the same either way.
