Well the auction is now over @ a final price of £315.00

Ebay Fees will have been £31.48
(source: http://www.fees.ebay.co.uk/feeweb/feecalculator )

Paypal Fees will have been £10.91
(source: http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/PayPal-Fees-The-rates-and-percentages-charges-/10000000004252166/g.html )

Insured special delivery will have cost £6.40
(source: http://www.royalmail.com/price-finder )

So the seller made £266.21  which could buy him 0.586BTC on LocalBitcoins ( https://localbitcoins.com/buy_bitcoins ) at the current price of £386.03


I think I will be holding on to my 0.5's for a little while longer yet.

Interesting calculation, thank you for sharing some of the "magic" behind the scene in ebay, learned something new :)

Have emailed bidder due to the following statement in my listing:

Quote
Please only bid if you have greater than 20 Feedbacks, with greater than 98% positive feedback, and no recent eBay policy violations. I reserve the right to cancel a bid.

If they have no way to get me to trust them I may offer a second chance.

Looking back today I realised I made an error, the sale amount after fees would have bought 0.69BTC then. Today, that has fell to 0.6588BTC (@ £404.10 on localbitcoins)

Hope your buyer pays up fair and square dave3k because they got a good deal!

Nope, Not wanted I guess.
Might try selling on here at some point.
Quite surprised as I thought it was a bargain.

Was a bargain, I paid 0.77BTC each for three, under 0.7 is a steal!
