Indeed, just sold my bass guitar for $2000, $200 to ebay, $58.30 for Paypal (an ebay company) and another $50 to ship , because I offered free shipping , because if I had charge for shipping Ebay would have taken 10% of that as well, because they don't trust people to offer fair shipping costs , so all other Ebay members must pay for it, which further lines the pockets of Ebay.
A member since 1999, I think I will start using Reverb and Craig's List , Ebay you are far too greedy , you have great exposure but at an unfair price

Overhead is one thing....overpriced overhead for what they have provided me as a seller (which has been poor service lately) at a high percentage of the final value, is not equitable.

I have been a member since ebay started. I just sold 4 $70.00 items today, and after I received the bill, ebay got 25%. I really don't see how anyone is profiting here besides ebay!

BTW, won't be paying 13% to ebay and Paypal and 12% to the post office for the priveledge of profiting on my deal again...

I too am apalled at how expensive things have gotten. This is outragious. I'm going to be limiting all my ebay usage from now on.

Ebay is forgetting who made them rich, **bleep** on them at 10%.

I have no idea why EBay has to be soooo darn expensive to buy anything from their site. As soon as I pay off my card with them I'm going somwhere else.

... doesn't craigslist have a forum you could post to... why complain here on the PT Forum, if you sell elsewhere
you can't be a little bit pregnant...if you're gone... then do us all a favor and be gone. Happy Trails, to you... la-di-da-di-da...

Ebay is getting out of hand with its fees and I think I might be done selling on Ebay. I just sold a pair of kobes and jordans and I was charged $34. Thats crazy!!! There has to be a better way to help the sellers save money or a way to guide with how to ship the cost effective way. Everytime I go to the post office to ship they tell me I could of shipped it cheaper. I just follow what Ebay says and ship according to what they reccomend what happens to be expensive. I just wish there was a max on how much Ebay can charge you for each transaction because $34 for two pairs of shoes is too much!!!!
