Fee's

[lrtfw]

I used to be a bookie, I would charge 10% juice for making bet's year's ago,

I applaud, Ebay for bumping it up to 20% juice for nothing

[kensgiftshop]

The juice is still 13.25% in most categories.

[lakefor94]

The juice is 9% on a lot of the items I sell.

Legitimate businesses have always screwed folks harder than criminals screw them.

Not ONCE in many decades of being a business owner has a legitimate businessman ever walked into my shop and said "Nice little place you have here - be a shame if anything happened to it" (Extend hand, palm up).

Whereas the fees I pay to eBay I do so voluntarily and I can stop any time I want.

Your post makes no sense.

What does you being a bookie and what you used to charge years ago have anything to do with ebay?

What do you mean "bumping it up" to 20%?  Ebay doesn't charge 20%.

What do you mean "for nothing"? Ebay provides and website and a service.

If you think eBay does nothing for their fee, I am confused why you are using the site to list items.

And also what's up with the apostrophe abuse?

[chevymontecarlo88]

Sure sounds like someone is doing some trolling.

The juice is loose. 😀

Ebay does not base their sales on bets...... it seems you did...... and lost.

Really.  Where else are you going to get World Wide exposure for the things you sell the FVFs charged by Ebay.  While there are some various fees in different categories, the majority of categories are 13.25%.

What seems to be the issue? Were you using Promoted Listings?

I wonder  who paid the  costs associated with building, growing, maintaining compliance with all local,state and federal regulations, disbursement of  sales taxes to the taxing intensities  where applicable.  Plus a seller  does not  have  to pay eBay a dime to post a listing on the eBay  site  until it sells - yeas you might  have to pay for  operational  features like stores,, special listing headlines, etc if one elects to opt for them.  I wonder how eBay keeps a handle on the  millions of eBay members (buyer and sellers) along  withe  several  years of  records - sure isn't a cell phone size storage box.  Oh  they also must  remain compliant to rules and regulation in the many countries on this  planet.  And keep up with  the most current  shipping costs, etc, etc.  Selling on eBay is not difficult "if" one  reads and understands and stays current via the many Announcements - when one doesn't it become an issue that  the seller created 99% of the time.  Kinda  like driving w/o following the various  traffic  laws e.g. tail gating  is illegal in any state as no vehicle can stop on a a dime even in the NASCAR circuit - makes a big mess on the tracks
