Am I the only one that is concerned with ebay's recent increase in final value fees? Ebay is making it hard to make even a small profit off items sold!

I'm done with Ebay. I'll continue to buy, but i'll be looking elsewhere to sell.
10% fee is an outright scam. I hope Ebay's greed ends up ruining them.

Seriously!? 10% Ebay????
I sell hatching eggs for $25 free shipping...
Ebay takes $2.50
Paypal takes $1.20
And I still have to pay shipping!!!
I'm left with $15 usually after selling 50 eggs...
Absurd...
Whats WRONG with yall???
There used to be NO FINAL VALUE FEE if it was under $50
Cmon yall..
Thats messed up

Final Value fees are nothing short of a rip off!
I listed 1 item. Sold it for $187.50. A month later Ebay charges me $18.75. 10 freaking percent of the sale!
Had I known the excessiveness of the charge I would not have listed on Ebay.
I am a first time seller so I am sure I missed the boiler plate from Ebay about charging 10% of the sale. So lessoned learned. However, I saw lots Ebay advertising about 'FREE' listing and virtially nothing about this hidden fee. I don't like the scammy way Ebay does business. Guess it is legal but just barley.
I should have done my homework and researched all the complaints about this fee. I see I am not the only one upset about this.
The good news, there is an alternative to Ebay. I think I will look into Amazon. So long Ebay it was not nice knowing you!

Ebay can suck eggs! 100% Crooks Format is ruined and they side with the scammers. The Feedback forum is a huge joke now.
It was good 10 years ago but this greedy company fd it all up.

Unfortunately, good sellers are once again paying the price for poor ones and crooks. Ebay is making huge profits with these higher FVF $$. They justify it with a claim they are providing services that warrant the increase. The truth be known, they are covering their" Buyer Protection" program by skimming $ off good sales to pay for **bleep**py sellers and generating a little more profit as they go. I would not continue to do business here if there were better choices. I doubt that will will see any change in this issue as once they set a bar, they never lower it again unless they are forced to by a huge walk off in customer numbers. Not going to happen, and they know it.

Totally disgusted with the excessive fees and Final Value Fees!! And as others have noted, Paypal holds your funds regardless of your rating.
I am withdrawing all activity from Ebay after my current experiences. Who regulates this stuff?

It is very annoying selling an item here and ebay makes more profit from it than you..
you buy an item for $100 then you list it for $130 and you will get $113 after the fees...

It's ridiculous, isn't it? I haven't sold anything on eBay in a while and I went to list an item last week and I couldn't believe how much they were going to soak me for thier fees. I'll sell my stuff on Craigslist now.

This is outrageous. After ten years of selling on eBay, I will never sell here again. I hope eBay goes under for doing this to people. It should be criminal.

That is crazy, eBay used to be a good place to sell extra odd and ends around the house for the little guy. Or a business for the an experienced seller. eBay needs to reduce the seller fees or some other company will end up doing it for them.

**bleep** ebay!!! I ridiculously ripped money from ebay after a month and realized there is **bleep**ing final value fee, these dogs created fee policy are brain deead pig who should be **bleep**ed in the space, stupid bicthes.
