eBay always provides you with a total listing before actually submitting your assets for sale. Now the Final Value fee, which is a fee you have to pay eBay at the end of an auction depends on the format you list the assets. So if you have it at a buy it now price, towards the bottom of the submission screen at the end of you steps you will see the actual final value fee you will be charged.

Also take in consideration the type of payment you will be accepting, and something that expensive you want to make sure that your buyer is a confirmed buyer, has a confirmed address with paypal... When you ship the unit make sure they have a signature confirmation no matter what! Take it from a platinum powerseller on ebay! Thanks!

Will you be accepting payment with paypal, then you'll have to add in the transaction cost also.

I wouldn't reccomend you to sell such expensive stuff over ebay. My recent expirence was horrible. I placed my Acer laptop for 2000 euro.From what I understand my final fee if item sold would be insertion fee+ebay's interest on sold item final price something 3.5 percent which was quite fair, ok. On second day of my laptop listing, some wanker with zero feedback scammed my auction by using 'buy it now' and emailed me fake paypal payment confirmation which I reported to ebay people straight away about. Ebay CCare replied, blabla we would take care about it. At the end of month to my HUUUGE SURPRISING I received invoice for 50 euro as for SOLD item PLUS ebay have charged my credit card automatically!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My credit card company said they couldn't sort it out, gosh. Eventually I#ve sorted it out with ebay, BUT IT COSTED ME ZILLION TONNES OF BEING NERVEOUS FOR NOTHING!!!!SELL IT LOCALLY, THINK TWICE BEFORE SELLING over ebay!

Thats why most power sellers and active sellers only accept bids from members with over 3 positive feed back rating.
