eBay

Hi there,

I am a new seller in ebay and I can read everywhere that there are 100 items that you can list for free.

It doesn't matter what I try when I try to prepare a listing, it always tells me that I need to pay $1 insertion fee, which contradicts everything ebay says in their scheme fees.

I have tried to list in different categories, auction or fixed price etc. and it doesn't matter ...always the very same fee.

Any ideas on how can I fixed that?

Thanks,

You something checked that cost extra money. It could be a variety of things, bold print, two categories, scheduled listings, extended auction listings etc. Double check the extras.

I've checked all that and tried every kind of combination and still the $1 fee is always there

@carlahomeaus,

I see that you are registered on eBay Australia. I assume that you were listing on eBay Australia, if your item is located in Australia. It's best to start selling on your local eBay site, because there may be restrictions on selling internationally when you're a new seller.

Sellers who are registered on eBay Australia get up to 250,000 insertion-fee-free listings each month, not just 100, but only when listing on eBay Australia. On eBay USA www.ebay.com, sellers get up to 250 per month (and the fees for listing upgrades are different too). So I'm not sure where you saw 100 free listings, but I'm afraid that is not correct.

On eBay Australia www.ebay.com.au, the only listing upgrade with a $1.00 fee that I can see is including a second category. You only need one category; most buyers do keyword searches, not category searches anyway.
