This topic will live forever. And I was responding to the person who posted immediately before me.
Are you using a mobile app?

I understand! They are starting to take ALL my profit and the volume sales are going straight down. More customers are asking to purchase items for a quarter of the asking price as well as free shipping. In the end it is costing more to sell than profit!

I just sold a few cheap phones and my fee was $32.50 not to mention the paypal fee as well. Then I have to spend money shipping too. If I include shipping in the aunction, they charge you % for shipping too. I'm literally losing money. Whats the point.

Yes any item listed in Australia for $4 to 4.50 is not worth listing anymore as the postage cost is usually $2 and then fees taken out it becomes a waste of time. Items such as books, CDs, DVDs, Blue Rays is a waste of time these days thanks to Austalia Post and Ebay and Paypals greed...Talk about slitting your own throat !

For me, a decent profit is at least 50%, AFTER eBay and Paypal take their cut. 15% before ebay and Paypal fees won't even net you minimum wage. Even if ebay cut their fees in half, your net is way below what you need to make it worth your time.

You get charged a fee for shipping no matter what, with calculated shipping and free shipping. There are more benefits to using free shipping, always use free shipping when ever possible. I'm not sure if they have fees on International shipping, If I remember correctly they don't.
Ebay did this because sellers where selling items for .99 cents with the price of the item in the shipping cost.
This was an item I sold back in December that had calculated shipping:

I agree with all complaints. I will be cancelling my account as soon as they take the last 4.50 for a $20. item. And, I do not think it is fair to charge .30 each for 10 pieces of sheet music...and for items that did not sell anyway (sheet music). Better to sell locally on kijiji...even if they don't sell it does not cost anything. Such a scam this site is becoming.

eBay sucks for buyers as much as sellers. Craigslist and all the others too anymore. You used to be able to buy used items for a great price and that was the appeal. Now, it's as though you pay slightly less than retail. What is THAT about??

eBay then - Auctions - Buyer determined price - great deals.
eBay now - Binatorium - Seller determines price - very few great deals.
There are still great items on eBay, you just have to be willing to hunt for them.
