Insertion Fees
$0.01 – $0.99 $0.20

$500.00 or more $4.80

If someone is paying "hundreds of dollars per month to list" they are
listing many items.

Closing Price Final Value Fee
Item not sold No Fee
$0.01 – $25.00 5.25% of the closing value
$25.01 – $1,000.00 5.25% of the initial $25.00 ($1.31), plus 3.00% of
the remaining closing value balance ($25.01 to $1,000.00)
Equal to or Over $1000.01 5.25% of the initial $25.00 ($1.31), plus
3.00% of the initial $25.01 - $1,000.00 ($29.25), plus 1.50% of the
remaining closing value balance ($1000.01 - closing value)

Pretty cheap compared to "live" auctions.
