If I list something and it goes for $2500, how much does Ebay take of that?
 
A lot.

My ass just woke up, if nobody else answers it shortly I'll figure it out. If its something large or heavy and would cost a lot to ship craigslist might be a better answer. Its also free to use.
 
ebay will take a shitton and then when you get payment they will take ever more, via paypal

It all depends on how many pictures you decide to post of the item. It's not that much maybe $3.00

per picture maybe the higher the worth of the iteam the larger cut ebay takes
 
ok, well...pictures are cheap to add. Ebay charges a listing fee (they call it an "insertion fee" - you should like that), then a "final valuation fee" at the end of the auction.

Listing fees depend on number of pictures, other features (bold, gallery, buy it now oprtion, etc.). Listing fee also depends on what your starting bid is. The higher the starting bid, the higher the listing fee (highest is $4.80 - this does NOT include add ons). Ebay lists their fees on their site.

Final valuation fee depends on what your item actually sells for. highest possible is: 5.25% of the initial $25.00 ($1.31), plus 3.25% of the initial $25.01 - $1,000.00 ($31.69), plus 1.50% of the remaining closing value balance ($1000.01 - closing value).

Then paypal takes fees too (or whatever other payment system you use (bidpay, etc.).

That's a whole other deal. I think I used to just average out 10% for fees. Incidently, 10% is what an auction house typically charges you to sell your item(s).
 
The pay would be done by certified check in mail, cash, or bank wire transfer.

Take money order or cashier's check. and don't send out the item until you've cashed that mother! Lot of fraud going on in ebay these days. don't sell to buyers out of the country - especially avoid African countries. Make sure to check the feedback of bidders. Any bidders with no feedback or too much recent negative feedback, or just too much negative feedback, either don't sell to or be cautious about selling to.
