here is the page of the ebay fees.

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/sell/fees3.html

It DOES NOT go from $49.99 to $100 for any private selling, only store sellers pay up to the $100. I also phoned ebay for clarification and they say the $100 is only charged for stores,business\s and powersellers etc.

That means the upfront listing fee will be $3.50 if the item sells plus the $49.99 capped fee for private sellers. It does NOT go to $100 if u sell a pinball machine and u are a private seller.

* I will add that the EBAY fees page, and any general information/update pages are a DISGRACE because they are ambiguous/are not eassy to read/are meaningly designed and written to create confusion and are anything but transparent and easy to read. I think places like Gumtree and other sites are starting to really eat into ebay's business because the whole business model of ebays customer contact is the worst i have seen in my 42 years. EBAYs business planners/directors should be all shot at dawn for their misleading and shonky dishonest communication practices.

Every statement they use has 10 x snakes n ladders leading off to other pages and in the whole, I say it is done meaningly to confuse and mislead people. DISGRACEFUL X 1 BILLION.
