About Insertion Fees:
An Insertion Fee is a listing fee.
It is the price ozeBid charges for listing your item for sale.
This fee is charged to your seller's account at the time of listing.
As with a newspaper ad, you need to pay this basic listing fee, even if your item is not sold. (If your item sells, a Final Sale Fee is charged to your seller's account.)
Please refer to Site Fees for current insertion fee rates.

Insertion Fees are not refundable.

About Final Sale Fees:
You are charged a Final Sale Fee (FSF) if your item is sold, ends with a winning bid, or is purchased.
This fee applies whether or not you complete the sale with the buyer.
Under certain circumstances you may request a Final Sale Fee Credit.
For example, you can request full credit if a buyer backed out and did not buy the item.

Factors that affect Final Sale Fees:
The final sale price (or "final value") of your item.
For auction listings, it is the final winning bid.
For fixed price or Buy It Now items, it is the purchase price.

Example: You sold a single item for AU$100.00. Using the Final Sale Fee table, your Final Sale Fee is AU$2.81.
This is calculated as follows:
AU$2.25 (.0300 times AU$75.00) plus AU$0.56 (.0225 times AU$25.00) for a total of AU$2.81.

Type of listing. Examples include the following:
Single Items: Final Sale Fee is based on the final sale price (or "final value") of your item.
Multiple Items-Fixed Price Listings: The Final Sale Fee is calculated per item sold and based on the final sale price of each item.
Regular Auction-style Listings: The final value is the closing bid when the reserve has been met.

You will not be charged a Final Sale Fee if:
There were no bids on your item (or your "Buy It Now" item is not bought.)
There were no bids that met your reserve price in the case of a Reserve Price Auction.
Your posting is in the Real Estate category. (Flate rate service fee applies)
