Start Selling on RumblistComparing the platform fees (the commission websites makes from each sale) you can see that Ebay’s fees can be triple Rumblist’s fees.
Here’s a real-world example:
Let’s say you’re selling a nice Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system for $3,000.
✅ After Rumblist’s platform fees, you’d have $2,850.
❌ After Ebay’s platform fees, you’d have $2,613.
👎 With Ebay, you lose almost $400 just in platform fees!
Remember, this is just the “basic” fees. If you’re selling internationally and select listing upgrades, like text formatting or additional images, Ebay will hit you with “listing upgrade fees.”
Including listing upgrade fees, the total Ebay fees for a $3,000 Akrapovic exhaust could be over $450!
Rumblist does not have additional listing fees. You can add images, videos, format text and more — all for free.
