Hi my name is Sam Klinger and I made a smal program to help find out the
cost of listing and selling an item on ebay. However I see nothing wrong
with the code but I get these error messages:
1. Insertion fee.
2. Selling Fees.
7. Quit.
type in a number (1-7): 1
What is the starting price?9
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Documents and Settings/Sam/My Documents/Hacks/Python
Scripts/ebay_money.py", line 46, in ?
compute_insertion_fee()
File "C:/Documents and Settings/Sam/My Documents/Hacks/Python
Scripts/ebay_money.py", line 8, in compute_insertion_fee
if price <= .99:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'price' referenced before assignment
Here is the code to my program:
#gets the price of the item
def listing_price():
price=input('What is the starting price?')
#Gets the seling price
def selling_price():
selling=input('What was the selling price?')
#Computes the price of insertion
def compute_insertion_fee():
if price <= .99:
price= price+.25
elif price <= 9.99:
price= price=.35
elif price <= 24.99:
price= price=.60
elif price <= 49.99:
price= price=1.20
elif price <= 199.99:
price= price=2.40
elif price <= 499.99:
price= price=3.60
elif price >= 500.00:
price= price=4.80
print price
#Computes the selling value
def compute_final_value():
if selling == 0.00:
print 'No fees'
elif selling <= 25.00:
selling= selling * .025
elif selling <= 1000.00:
selling= ((selling - 25.00) * .0275)+ 1.31
elif selling >= 1000.00:
selling= ((((selling - 25.00) - 1000.00) * .0150)+ 1.31+ 26.81)
print selling
# Prints the menu
def print_menu():
print '1. Insertion fee.'
print '2. Selling Fees.'
print '7. Quit.'
#Gets a menu choice from user
menu_choice=0
print_menu()
while menu_choice !=7:
menu_choice= input("type in a number (1-7): ")
if menu_choice == 1:
listing_price()
compute_insertion_fee()
elif menu_choice == 2:
selling_price()
compute_final_value()
elif menu_choice==7:
pass
