eBay fees are INSANITY! Am I the only one?
I thought I was doing people a solid by listing auctions starting at $0.01. I thought it would be nice to sell something for a penny if no one else bid besides the first person. I listed MANY DOZENS of auctions. I then started noticing I was PAYING eBay money, not RECEIVING it.
An auction for a book sold at 1 cent plus $3.19 (the minimum shipping amount for media mail) and eBay charged me a 14.6% fee INCLUDING fees based on SHIPPING! So I have to pay 80 cents, PLUS the $3.19 shipping to earn one penny. Auctioning that book COST ME 79 cents (as the buyer paid the shipping).
First, it's insane to charge 14.6% of anything less than what it would COST you to auction something.
Second, charging a final fee on the SHIPPING?!?!
Am I the only one? Am I missing something? This seems very bad.

·3 years agoIt is ridiculous. On some of my mid-lower priced items, they make as much or more off fees than I profit.
