Those Chinese kill me! lol

 

43 SOLD

 

It HAS to be a typo.

 

Damn Americans for not outsourcing their product so it can be produced for $1 in China. That way, everyone could enjoy $442 turn signal bulbs for much less

 

Im thinking they are supposed to be 42.99 or 44.99 but ya never know...

 

Those high prices are usually a placeholder if the product is out of stock. I know it's still showing as available, but that is only because the seller doesn't want to end the listing and then have to pay another insertion fee.

It much cheaper to change the price and extend the listing a few hours before it ends for another 14-30 days, that way they only have to pay insertion fee once and only pay a sold fee for each order.

 

Flipp
That makes sense.
I'm still steamed about ebay fees for selling a subwoofer I had. They're making it to expensive to use.

 

Yeah, i only sell things on ebay if i can't get rid of them through Craigslist. At least for us small times seller they wave the insertion fee every so often.

 

It's the final value fee that killed me. Total ebay fees ran $104 and that's before the $40 in paypal fees.

 

That bulb looks amazing im ordering 4

 

Just be glad those weren't classified as Automotive Accessories. Anything automotive Ebay takes 10% off the top. Then paypal takes their cut.

 

Well, they got $104 on an auction that ended at $966 plus $148 for shipping. Depending on how you want to calculate the percentage, it's still around 10%. As you said, then there is paypal.

Unfortunately, they pretty much have a corner on reaching a lot of people.

 

ya luckily they just started recently giving 2o% final value discounts and free insertion fees if u hit top seller status which isnt that hard as long as you have 1 day handling and a 14 day return policy and ship a few things each month

 

my cars in the pic jsut saying

 

If you click on the "43 Sold" it'll show you the prices of the last several sales ranging between $3654 and $49.99 but not at $442...
