I've about had it with eBay. The fees require that you mark-up your product up and price yourself out of the market. The only thing that makes sense to sell on eBay are event tickets and even that is a rip-off. If you sell 2 tickets for $600 younpay$84.00 in commissions.
Ridiculous.

I've also had it with Ebay. I've been a member for over 16 years. i've probably sold over 2000 items and have a feedback score of 1712 positives (NO NEGATIVES). Yet because I had to cancel some buys (5) during the past year....(3 were because the item was found to have defects, 1 because the shipping charge was way off and 1 because my wife decided to keep it), that ridiculous sellers dashboard put me below standard and now Ebay wants to charge me 14% FVF which now means I'll pay 17% in fees (14% + paypal's 3%). Funny but the buyers never left me negative feedback and in fact 3 of the buyers rebought the items I originally canceled. Ebay's management has lost touch with reality so now I've listed all my items on ETSY. ETSY charges a total of 6.5% fee (that includes direct deposit). It cost $0.20 to lis an item for 4 MONTHS not $0.30 for 1 month like Ebay. Check out ETSY if you want a more seller friendly place to sell. Ebay can take their fees and shove it.

Imagine, guys who were selling Iphone X over 1000 usd after launch, ebay was easily earning more money / device as the sellers did. Without risk!

Yes, these fruitcakes are taking advantage of sellers.

Thought I start selling off my motorcycle parts inventory, but after I saw what ebay+paypal are taking away from you, this was my first and last item I will put up for sale. It is always the same story with the big companies they rip you off because they can. To bad there is no real competition out there. It is getting better though. I will start selling my stuff through Facebook Marketplace, there are also plenty of groups, like in my case motorcycle groups which specialize in certain things. If you sell something there you only have to deal with the payment, no fees.
