Selling fees for Sportscards are outrageous!

[chuckscardstore]

12.35% + .30 each is OUTRAGEOUS!

I sold 75,000.00 in January and Feb alone. But guess what I have done since then? 2,000..00 the rest of the year. I have pulled all but a few listings. eBay you are ruining the hobby and forcing sellers to facebook 0% marketplace, craigslist 0%, and myslabs.com 1%

This is from a 10 year powerseller with 100% feedback.

I will be closing down my eBay store after 11 years, 10 of which are powerseller.

What were your fees in Jan/Feb (including PayPal fees)?

Did you raise your prices after Jan/Feb? If you did not, then I'm not sure I see the link between your selling fees and buyer demand.

That's strange, as a powerseller you ought to know eaby considers selling here a business and not a hobby.  Also, sales of $75k in 2 months doesn't exactly fall under "selling as a hobby" category either.

The fact you labeled your selling here as a hobby may indicate you have not considered the payment of income tax as particularly important.  You may wish to peruse the IRS pages on how to distinguish between a business and a hobby:

Sounds like you've made a decision that you're comfortable with. 

Best of luck to you.

When did I say I considered hobby? I complained about fees. eBay fanboy boot lickers.

[chuckscardstore]

When did I say demand eBay bootlicker?

[chuckscardstore]

Exactly. I am venting my frustration with rising fees, and the ebay bootlickers come out. Charge him more!

With all the listings that don't follow policy, might be a good idea.

Another ebay bootlicker!

A 10-year power seller who apparently didn't know he was paying 12.9% plus 30 cents for most of those 10 years.

Bye.

[chuckscardstore]

And another minion bootlicker..... it was 10% and was 8.5% before that bootlicker

[soh.maryl]

You said something like eBay was ruining a hobby, so we assumed that yours was the hobby being ruined.

There is no reason or need for name calling here either.

Now, you're paying the same fee's as the rest of us, what a shame.

[chuckscardstore]

The solution is to be a jerk and lick boots. He likes belittling people and paying high fees. Avoid this guy.

When it was 10% you were also paying 2.9% additionally to Paypal.

12.55% is lower than 12.9% so you are still paying a tiny bit less than you used to.
