Not saying I agree with how high the fees are, but stop and think.Before Managed payments became a thing, Paypal took out 2.9 percent when selling.eBay charges 13.6% for most categories without having a store, with some being higher or lower.This percent now includes the payment processing fee PayPal used to charge us.BUT...when you take the 2.9% back out that PayPal used to charge, this is actually only 10.7% eBay's non-store FVF was 10% for most categories in 2015.So for the most part, eBay's fees have only increased 0.7% in 10 years.
