Like a lot of folks, we have some Wii games that don't get played as much as they used to.    So I decided to see where I could sell some games and come out the furthest ahead.  All of the 3 major sites for selling your stuff have different fees.  So I decided to calculate the amount I would pocket if I sold a game for $25+$4 shipping on eBay, Half.com (also owned by ebay), and Amazon Marketplace.
How much would you get to sell at $25 item with $4 shipping?  This of course assumes that each of these would find buyers willing to pay the same price.  Surprisingly, I found that Amazon was the most expensive and Ebay was the cheapest!
Amazon Fees
 Sale price of the item  $25
 Shipping credit $4
-  Referral Fee of 6-25% of the sale price -15% for video games
-  Variable Closing Fee
-  $0.99 Fixed Closing Fee (waived for Pro Merchant Subscribers)
-------------------------------------
Total deposited to seller's account = $22.91
Ebay fees:
$25 + $4
No insertion on
-9% of sales price
-2.9% + .30 paypal fee
----
= Total deposited to seller's account = $25.73
Half.com fees
$25+$4
15% commission
+.60 shipping commission
----
= Total deposited to seller's account = $24.05
