eBay review

eBay is the cheapest place on this list to sell a valuable bag if you are happy to do the listing yourself. Its fee table charges a 15% final value fee on women's bags and handbags up to $2,000 and 9% on the portion above, which on a $5,000 bag comes to $570 before any optional upgrades. The Authenticity Guarantee is what makes eBay usable for designer bags: eligible handbags sold for $500 or more go to independent authenticators before they reach the buyer, at no cost to either side, and buyers can add the check for $20 on bags from $200 to $499.99. You keep full control of pricing. The work is all yours: photos, description, buyer questions and shipping to the authenticator. Bags under $200 get no authentication at all. We compared documented fees and program terms, not hands-on sales.
