First thing is they are if not the only game in town, at least the biggest, by far. That gives them the latitude to do things like make all the rules...like return policy, fees...and don't forget Feedback. If you've got this many problems with everything, maybe you're in the wrong business.
Now, take a deep breath...

If you really feel this way; why waste your time posting on the boards?
The more time you spend posting new items, gaining an inventory the better chances of sales.
And yes, there loads of venues out there for you to try.

If you think eBay's fees are high, try opening a physical store in a decent location. You'll get crazy buyers there too.
I have to agree with this. All stores have operating costs and all retailers have some crazy arsed buyers occasionally. Trick is to keep both to a minimum.
I also think that 21% in ebay (and pay pal fees I hope you mean to include) is pretty good in my as far as cost of selling fees go. If I sell a $1000 bucks, that means I get to keep almost $800. Yay me!!
You can use a fee calculator to help make sure what you are selling is worth selling on ebay, too.

Even a B&M doesn't get as much daily traffic as ebay. And traffic is the biggest key to selling. You can't get people to look at your stuff, you can't sell it.
You could always find other sites and list on them, then compare which was more profitable over all. Its a good experiment. Good luck!!

We consider eBay's fees to be very reasonable
That must be the Royal "WE" unless you've got a mouse in your pocket.
It obviously ain't the Collective "We", cuz John the OP doesn't seem to agree with you.
Or is it "We" in the evilBay stockholders' meeting?

It's "we" as in my partner and I at friendlyplush. We're not a one-man show here.
Aww. I was really hoping there was a cute, little, round-eyed mouse in your pocket!

My point is "where does it help you in whining?"
Does it improve your situation?
