Can you start a free 99 cent auction with a higher BIN available?

What is the final FVF?

Well, I found that the listing fee would be free if the seller did not have a store, and the BIN fee would be 5 cents. Total cost to list the item = 5 cents.

If the item at auction, sold by BIN, what about the FVF? Would the FVF be 8% or 12% - anyone know?

i think it is based on the category. There are different fees for different items. BIN doesn't affect FVF, just the BIN insertion fee.

Since my sales are in the other category, It appears that the BIN fee would be 12%.

So, a seller could list an 99 cent auction for free and pay 5 cents for BIN, with 12% FVF. Not bad.

Bill: Not bad if you are willing to sell the item for 99 cents. That's what has been happening in my 99 cent experiments.

In the past I offered the one 99 cent item each week. Most often that would go for more than 99 cents... but that was over a year ago. I tried it recently myself and got 99 cents. As I packed that 99 cent item, I thought to myself, I hope I don't get a low DSR for shipping considering I charged an extra $1.00 in handling fees to cover some of my expenses.
