Why $150 matters so much

List a pair at $149.99 and eBay's fee is $20.80. List it at $150.00 and the fee drops to $12.00. One cent more on the price leaves you $8.81 more profit.

So if a pair is worth around $140–$149, try pricing it at $150 or a little above, with offers turned on. Even after accepting a small discount you may keep more than at $145.
