I don't want my bank account 'out there'. That's part of my initial statement. So, I've stopped selling except for one item. I won't be listing any further. And as far as the fee goes, it might be reasonably fair for low figure sales but for the higher value items, the additional 2.5% might well exceed the what sellers had to pay Paypal. I don't like %'s anyway. (ever sold a house lately at 8% fee)? Whether a $400,000 property or a 4 million dollar property, it's still 8% - totally outrageous in my eyes. I'd like to see a fixed selling fee on ebay for say 0 - 50 - no fee, 51 to 100 - $7.50, 101 to 500 - $12 and so on with a maximum fee of $100 (all pie in the sky I realise). After all, it's only one item being sold just like houses. What's the value got to do with anything. It's just the way all auction houses operate and is downright robbery. I think something like this would increase ebay's image and their revenue as a lot more people would use them. Their totally ruthless attitude on charging, even for the most trivial things on a listing, is not helping them. Have a look at Mr_ Lincoln's info below. They can add me to their downturn.
