That Escalated Quickly (aka Common Records Turned Rare)

[MikeH]

What is the eBay cut for a record sale these days?

12.55% of the total sale cost including shipping I think. that includes any paypal fees that would be charged to sell goods I think.

Yeah thats right, absolutely mad that they charge on shipping fees. Blows my mind.

So selling on Discogs, I pay 8% plus whatever PayPal dings me for, is that around 3.5% now?

Because I used to routinely see people selling a CD or one LP and charging $25 for shipping, just to avoid eBay's cut.

Yeah it works out around 10 to 11 percent

 

[djdavedk]

I feel like on a bigger ticket item, I want more eyes on it, and eBay fits that bill for an extra 1-2%.

As usual people tried to skirt the rules which ruined it for everyone haha

Just saw that Ratatat - Classics is starting to creep up. This was easy to snag for sub $15 earlier this year

Phoebe Bridgers 7" and stupid escalating prices. Last one on eBay went for over 100, this was at retail for ages

Everything Taylor Swift seems to have been skyrocketing this year. Even the Reputation picture disk that was everywhere last year for close to nothing.

This is tempting me to sell it

Saw one of these go up for 250 shipped... I’m thinking, what? I paid $10 at my local RS in 2015.

It's high on my want list, but not for $250!

It's 12.55% of the total sale cost including shipping AND TAXES, + an extra $0.30. I'm looking forward to the inevitable class action lawsuit and my settlement payment of $2.83 in eBay bucks.

I started searching online for albums in my buy list - the first 2 Jane’s Addiction albums as well as Jubilee. Figured all 3 would be easy find retail price grabs.

Nope!

If you have a good lead on any of these, hitchaboi up!

Edit: Posting this before you think I’m dumb. I didn’t see the black LP on her website the first time!!

This one is starting to creep up…I wonder if it’s finally gone OOP like the rest of them. Seems hard to find anywhere for retail.
