Half.com Fee Calculator v3.0 released
Posted January 28th, 2009 by Ryan Olbe Fee Calculators, Web-Based Tools, eBay Tools Add comments
Here's a Half.com Fee Calculator I wrote to help people quickly estimate what it would cost to sell an item on Half.com. Simply enter in the price of your item and it can tell you what your Half.com fees would be and what amount you would receive after fees. It can also tell you what your Half.com shipping reimbursement would be based on the type of item you are selling and your shipping method.
Half.com doesn't really have that complicated of a fee structure. It starts at a base rate of 15% and goes down to as low as 5% based on the price of your item. You can always find the latest Half.com fee rates on their fees page. My calculator will always tell you what fee rate it's using, and allows you to optionally change it if you so choose.

I've also included a reverse calculator which works similarly to my Reverse PayPal Caclulator. With the reverse calculator, instead of the calculator telling you what your fees are, you enter the amount you want to receive after fees and the calculator tells you what amount you would need to sell your item for to receive that amount. For example, to receive $30 after fees you would need to sell your item for exactly $35.29. This calculator can find that exact amount, $35.29, for you.

For more information, you can check out Half.com's fees page, read more about their Shipping Reimbursement Policy, or simply visit Half.com.
If you have any suggestions, comments, or ideas for the calculator you can either leave them on this page, or e-mail me directly. Thanks for your input!

Do you have a half.com icon?
Are you referring to a favicon or a desktop icon? The favicon (16x16) for Half.com is the same as eBay and can be found here:
Half.com
http://www.half.ebay.com/favicon.ico
Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/favicon.ico
As for desktop icon's you could either go with the company's logos here:
Half.com

Amazon.com
http://www.rolbe.com/images/amazon_logo.gif
Or try finding downloadable software available for each company which would put an icon on your desktop. For example, eBay has the eBay Desktop application and Amazon has the Amazon MP3 Downloader, Amazon Unbox Video Player, and the Amazon Seller Desktop. You could also try using an icon search engine to find more icons.
