Quick Reference of Auction House Fees 2 2

Should an additional "N.P. Gresham" premium be figured into the Heritage entry due to their in-house bidder?

eBay

Buyer Premium: none

Seller Premium: varies. 10% base final value fee for standard accounts. 9% for store accounts (requires at least $25/month fee for basic store account). The final value fee is charged not just on the item price but on whatever you charge for shipping. Additional 3% PayPal payment processing fee. Additional listing fees may apply (depends on listing details, many free listings available, etc). Top rated seller accounts get a 20% discount on their eBay invoice, so 20% off the 9% FVF for store accounts is 7.2%, plus the 3% for Paypal comes to about 10.2%. When you factor in that the FVF applies to your shipping cost, plus listing fees, store fees, or if you don't get the 20% top rated discount, actual total fees are often closer to 13-15%

One more factor (or two): store owners maximum commission is $250. So if you’re selling high ticket books, your percentage drops. And eBay often runs promotions for discounted Final Value Fees on top of that. 

Example: I sold an Avengers 4 for $8500. Paid $175 to eBay (30% discount promo in effect) plus paypal’s 3%. Total: $430... just over 5%.

Heritage is a 20% buyers premium which changed fairly recently from 19.5%....minimum is $19 at least in terms of comics.  Also, for sales to Maryland they can charge tax on shipping because it includes "handling".

I figure this was probably in jest BUT sometimes I really do wonder
