Total agreement here, I didn't realize I am going to be giving up 10% on a item, then paypal's cut which is for the full price including the 10% ebay is already jacking me for. Can't even afford to give people a good deal on something because then it costs me money. I'm not even trying to make money, just want to sell the item for what it is worth, which the customer appreciates. But then I get jacked for 13% of that, it's just too much and I believe it is no longer worth the hassle. I think I will stop selling on ebay entirely. I am selling a $400 item for $330 and I am looking to come out with $285 by the time the transaction is done. I would really love to sell them the item at $285 so they get a hell of a deal and I am no worse off. Or meet in the middle where we are both happy. But i just can't afford to do that mathematically it makes no sense. Then if I charge shipping ebay is chargin me a 10% fee of the shipping cost too and paypal! W.T.F! What if something is just a heavy item or far away? Wackness. I think I am going to quit selling things and **bleep** I feel the pain for people I have gotten really good deals from, a big thank you to them. Also it's backwards, there shoudln't be a $250 limit it should be 10% fee for all items of all values or it favors sellers who sell really expensive items.
- I aim to please!!
