Iâ€™ve been selling on eBay since maybe 2020 on and off . Iâ€™m a 54 year old disabled man and I sell different collectibles to help out with having extra cash because living off disability isnâ€™t easy .The seller fees seem to be getting crazier and more greedy from eBay. Example is I recently sold some coin collections and noticed Iâ€™m not getting hardly any views. I was selling these lots out of desperation because for some odd reason it seemed no one was all of a sudden interested in silver coins. Until I made the mistake of using the eBay sellers â€œ promotions feature â€œ now all of a sudden everyone could see my listings. After 2 days I sold the lot and thankfully for my asking price not a best offer. The lot went for $300 but eBay took $40 out in seller fees and $30 for the promotion ad or whatever it is that I only used for 2 days . $70 in fees! RIDICULOUS!! And GREEDY! I remember when a fixed amount was used for promotions now they recommend a percentage and me not full understanding this was charges 10% of my promotion. It just seems like eBay is getting more and more money intoxicated and they make out much better than the sellers do. And , if you decide not to use a promotion good luck on anyone seeing your listing unless of course youâ€™re a well known seller and or a business. Iâ€™m just a regular citizen trying to make extra cash but the selling fees seem to get worse as time goes on. Iâ€™m seriously thinking of going back to that other platform that isnâ€™t as famous as eBay but is beginning to. $70 out of $300 is **bleep** Iâ€™m sorry.
