Proceeds

The picture below shows my proceeds before and after eBay is done with the transaction.

Promoted listings have that effect, it would seem.

Not all that much different than pre-tax profits in a traditional business

And your other option for making a sale is???

eBay doesn't take as much as Poshmark, Mercari, Facebook, Grailed, D-Pop... be careful what you complain about, we might long for the good old days when eBay took less than the others

Now I want pumpkin pie.  Wrong holiday.

Etsy takes their slice much the same way as EBay.

Looks like my daily May sales before and during Memorial Day weekend.

Looks like you've been here for quite awhile, 21 years.  Has something changed drastically recently?

Walmart operates at less than 3% profit (Walmart's net profit margin for Q1 2025, was reported as 2.75%) per earnings report.

21 years under this ID, but have been selling here since 1998, I sold on Yahoo auctions before eBay> I wonder what happened to that. I wanted this to be a fun post. 😃

Walmart like all other big companies know how to game the system, that 3% is for tax purposes, they spend so much on expansion so there is no profit left but a few pennies for Uncle Sam to collect.
