It would be a good deal for you IF its a higher priced piece, and IF it sells. If not, you pay as much as you would have after 6 months of listing it. I guess for me, I'll stick with the standard listing.

04-19-13: Markpao Just like everything else in our society, catering to the wealthy. The old system, which is still around, is $4 and 2% of sale, up to $100. Which means that the big players, selling anything over $5000, stop paying the 2% fee. Now with the $25 flat fee, those selling over $1000 can make out. Who doesn't make out? Those that are selling less expensive gear and cables. I'd rather see a flat 1% fee with no cap, you sell a pair of speakers for $50,000, your ad cost $500. |
However, the email also states that a $4 listing fee still applies and a 2% transaction fee once the sale is made (up to $100).That makes no sense. You have a choice of $25 flat OR the old way. There is no commission or $4 listing fee if you opt for the $25. You also can post up to 12 images in the $25 ads. Not sure I see the purpose of the phone number part of it, though. And I don't understand why the OP titled this Topic $25 flat rate shipping. |
Our new $25 listing includes: unveiling our new flat fee lising. "NO TRANSACTION FEES Â just pay the $25 when you list the ability to add a VERIFIED PHONE NUMBER for prospective buyers to ask questions up to TWELVE PHOTOS per listing!" Still not 100% guaranteed the seller is actually that of the username listed on the ad. I would still verify the ad was listed by the true owner of the Agon member username listed on the ad. The only verified way now is to send an email though the Agon system to the username listed on the ad. . |
