JF - with the exception of real estate and RV's (which a yacht may be) the maximum listing fee is $2.00 - pretty cheap exposure. Mr. K.

Fees and commissions formula 0 to 9.99=.25 insertion fee 10 to 24.99 = .50 insertion fee 25 to 49.99 = 1.00 insertion fee 49.99 and up = 2.00 insertion fee If the item doesn't sell and you relist it you get this fee charged again, but refunded if the item sells. This is relative new. It used to be that they didn't charge a relist fee. (Earlier this year.) Their latest new income is the gallery fee. .25 cents to get your photo in the page of photos people can flip through. Here is my accounting calculation to figure out how much commission I get charged. I use Quatro Pro. Sale price = B4 5% @IF(B4>25,1.25,B40.05) 2.5% @IF(B4>1000,24.38,(B4-24.99)0.025) 1.5% @IF(B4>1000,(B4-999.99)*0.0125,0) Total is the sum of the above three lines @SUM(B5..B8) Thus a $595,000 item returns a 7450.63 commission. Hope you find this interesting and useful.
