How do I find the cost of the listing and final auction fees after an item is sold?

    Here is how you calculate your Final Value Fee:
    Take the first $250 of your final value and multiply it by 6%. If your item sold for $250 or less this is your Final Value Fee.
    If your final value was more than $250, take the additional amount over $250 and multiply it by 3.5%.
    Add up these amounts and that is your Final Value Fee.
    For example, a $1500 item would cost:
    $250 times 6% = $15.00
    $1250 times 3.5% = $43.75
    Total = $58.75
    A $500 item would cost:
    $250 times 6% = $15.00
    $250 times 3.5% = $8.75
    Total = $23.75

    It sure would be nice if the GB Auction computer weenies supplied that vital information to the seller when the item sold. They charge for various things like thumbnail, bold listings and what not plus final value fees..... Oh, well I will just wait and see what they send me for next month...

    Final fees are listed when you post the item. Just look for them.
