I tried pretending as if I was going to sell something but it didn't give me a price...

I want to sell something that's worth at about...$20.00 dollars. Any idea? Never sold anything there before. oops

It all depends on what it is. If its $20 in used condoms, then you'll get $50. Condition, age and current popularity all play into the final price.

Haha. No sir, no condoms.

It's a Netgear Wireless Adapter.

Heres a sneaky trick... low price, high shipping. If its out of box, then ittl only cost you 3 bucks to ship in a padded envelope, but charge them like $7 for the shipping.

I have the box and everything that came with it. It's in great shape, I've only had it for about a week or two.

For a $20 item, it'd be around $1.50. From what I recall

-Insertion fee for $10.00-$24.99 is $0.60
-Final Value Fee is 5.25% of closing price up to $25.00, ~2.5% for value between $25.01-$1000.00.
-If you want to have a Buy It Now price, there's an extra fee for that.
-Plenty more options with plenty more fees.

Something like that.

Add a handling charge to cover the fees. Problem solved.
