Insertion Fees

Our Fees Structure is very simple and competitive. We don't charge the users for signing up either as Private or Commercial Shopowner. But, we do charge money (monthly) to the shopowner, if they make any sale via Spandooly. Following are the various cases, in which the Seller is charged the fees:

• Sale Fees - If you have added an item for sale or bidding, and there is buyer who purchased the item
• Advertisement Fees - If you add an item over Spandooly to put up as an Advertisement
• Cancellation Fees - If you cancel your auction item with bids already from different buyers

All the above mentioned fees will be displayed at their appropriate places. You will see "Calculate Earnings" while adding the item or "Calculate Charges" button while adding the Advertisement or Cancelling the Auction Item.

Final value fees

We charge a final value fee when your item sells.

This fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale. The total amount of the sale is the amount the buyer pays, including any shipping and handling charges. Sales tax isn't included in the calculation.

In the table below, you'll find the basic fees for items listed in most categories and the number of zero insertion fee listings you'll get each month.

Please keep in mind that not all optional listing upgrades are available with every listing tool and not all optional listing upgrades may be displayed across all our sites, services, applications, and tools.

Additional final value fees

You may be charged final value fees if you violate our policy of buying or selling outside of Spandooly, or we may apply additional final value fees if you are not meeting our performance expectations.

Buying or selling outside of Spandooly

If you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of Spandooly, you'll be charged a final value fee based on the total amount of the sale even if your item doesn't sell. In this situation, the total amount of the sale is determined as follows:

• Auction-style listing format: The total amount of the sale is the auction start price, the Buy It Now price (if applicable), the reserve price (if applicable), or the price identified between the buyer and seller, whichever is highest.
• Fixed price listing format: The total amount of the sale is the fixed price or the price identified between the buyer and seller, whichever is higher.

Examples of fee calculations

Auction-style listing example 1

You're selling the latest version of a smartphone in used condition using a 10-day duration. You select a starting price of 199 €, with a Buy It Now price of 400 €, and you offer free shipping.

You've already used your allocation of zero insertion fee listings this month, and you are meeting our performance expectations.

The item sells immediately for the Buy It Now price of 400 €. Since you aren't charging the buyer for shipping or any other costs, 400 € is the total amount of the sale.

The final value fee is 40 €, or 10% of 400 €.

Auction-style listing example 2

You're selling a rare vintage camera using a 5-day duration. You select a starting price of 199 € and offer calculated shipping.

You add the following optional listing upgrades:

• You add a reserve price of 400 €.

The winning bid for the camera is 7.800,00 € . Shipping to the buyer is 30 €, so the total amount of the sale is 7,830,00 €.

The final value fee is 783,00 €. (10% of 7.830,00 € is 783 €).

You make €7,017.00

Auction-style listing example 3

You're selling a men's wristwatch with a 7-day duration. You select a starting price of €149 with various shipping options, including free shipping.

The winning bid for the watch is €964 and the buyer selects 1-day shipping for €30, so the total amount of the sale is €994.

The final value fee is €144.60 (10% of €964 is €96.40. Total final value fee: €144.60).

Your total fees for this item:

You make €819,40
