Thanks for the answers. Would you mind explaining how the fees work for putting an item up and selling an item work?

1. Is their a seperate fee for putting the item up and selling it? Or is it the same "insertion fee"
2. How are the fee(s) handled? Percentage of price? Flat fee?

The fee schedule is too expansive to explain in this format, so I posted a link to ebay's help page on the subject.

Enjoy.

I love eBay, I've sold paintball guns, bought alot of software, never had any big issues.

Ebay is awesome... I have sold two items and bought about six, never had even a remotely bad experience... I feel more comfortable buying from an ebay guy with 100+ feedback then I do buying from most Internet shops.

eBay = win. I got a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro off there for 217.

Yeah, got a gig of DDR RAM off E-bay for 250, would've cost me double that from any store.
