Selling a watch

Question

Hello all. I have bought many items on Ebay. However, Ive never sold. The fees are confusing for watches as there are two categories and the fee is also confusing. Are you paying multiple fees at each price level or one total fee? How do you know which category the watch falls under?? Any help would be appreciated.

Watches get listed under â€œwatches, parts and accessoriesâ€, which is part of â€œjewelry & watchesâ€.

Fees for watches, parts and accessories

15% on total amount of the sale up to $1,000 calculated per item
6.5% on the portion of the sale over $1,000 up to $7,500 calculated per item
3% on the portion of the sale over $7,500

So if you sell a watch for $1,500 (including shipping and the sales tax paid by the buyer), you pay 15% on the first $1,000 ($150) + 6.5% on the remaining $500 ($32.50) + $.30 for a total of $182.80.
