Here's an Overstock Auctions Fee Calculator I wrote to help people calculate all the fees and profit they can expect when selling on Overstock Auctions. Overstock Auctions is getting bigger and bigger each day and I know a lot of people are switching over from eBay because the fees are so much lower. Since they have a fees page but no fee calculator on their site I decided to make one.

If you've ever wanted to know how much it costs to sell on ePier, then you might want to check out my ePier Fee Calculator. ePier is an online auction site similar to eBay, but unlike eBay, ePier doesn't charge any fees up-front to list items.

Even if you don't use it for Amazon Auctions, you can still type in the fee rate for any company or service that charges a fee and have your fees calculated. Who knows, maybe they'll come back online somebody, but it's unlikely.
