Fees! Wow!

Left ebay several years ago as a daily seller when they sold out to China and let them flood the space with **bleep** and 49 cent shipping.  Shame on you ebay, you sold American sellers out! Necessity required me to list an item.  It sold for 218 dollars and I had 49 dollars in fees ... nearly 25%.  You all need to leave these thieves.  Close ebay!  Highway robbery and down hill since Meg Whitman took control and turned this from a cool grass roots start up to corporate sell outs!  I truly think EBAY SUCKS ... wow ... never be back to buy or sell.

"Left ebay several years ago..."

 

If you came back to sell, you haven't left yet. It's changed a lot from when you were here way back then. Good luck.

Using  a reserve is expensive the fee is 7.5% of the reserve price. 

It is best to start your auctions at your minimum price then there is no fee.

Since you were shown the fees structure before you listed an item...

 

WHY did you decide to list it knowing the fees in the first place?

 

And the come back to complain about it...lol

ebay has become greedbay and it is no longer a "fun place to buy & sell". Ebay complains about price gouging while they are doing it to sellers with higher fees. Some sellers are selling on here to make money to pay bills and buy food. Ebay has created a CAPTIVE audience with rules against sellers in favor of 'the buyer is always right'.   lol

Sounds like eBay has been living rent free in your mind since you "left".  

 

As a self-described former "daily seller" I would think that you would have caught up on the fee structure before making your grand return to the fold.  It pays to be more diligent with the hopmework and less impulsive. 

 

Re: "I truly think EBAY SUCKS ... wow ... never be back to buy or sell."  ... don't say "never" lol, you left  once before and you, for some unknown reason, came back.

 

But, anyhow, wishing you success with your yard sales.
