Did ebay lower it's fees for selling guitars?
I thought I heard that some where. However my online fee calculator seems to be the same. Hoping it just hasn't updated yet.

It was an offer that you had to activate. Doing so resulted in a 3.5% selling fee. Expired in April, AFAIK.

Its still 3.5% fees if your listing is under the category guitars and basses. I just went to the ebay fee calculator and tried it. There is no signing up and is supposed to be here to stay now.

That's not a bad deal. I've been fortunate on Ebay to almost always get more than I thought I would. Of course, I don't try to wrangle out every penny on a deal.
I've used Reverb too, but I like auctions a little better in case you have something more popular than you think. I haven't used Ebay in awhile since fees just seemed to pile up and end up a lot more than I expected. But I might try it when I get around to listing a banjo and classical guitar I've been planning to sell. Thanks for the tip.

They dropped the rate because out-of-luck guitarists are keeping them in business via their sheer volume.
