fees

[hoghunter_2009]

When did Ebay raise their fee to such an obsorbent amount. I have tons of stuff to try and sell but after last sale and a $15 fee payment. I will be using Craigslist and several other that are not charging a fee or a lot smaller fee. This is ridiculous to sell an item for $81 and pay $15 in fees. GOODBYE EBAY!!!!!!!!

Assuming you mean an "exorbitant" amount, can you explain further?

If you're a USA seller, you used to pay FVF of 10% to eBay and something like 2.9% to Paypal.

Under MP, you now pay eBay, in most categories, 12.55%, plus the 30 cent listing fee.  Yes, I admit some categories are more.

eBay fees are about the same as they’ve been for years. Apparently you never factored in the fees you paid to PayPal, which you no longer have to pay.

But whatever. Bye.

Interesting feedback from the buyer of the scope you sold.  Were they complaining about the 9.25% sales tax?  Just curious.  

" and several other that are not charging a fee or a lot smaller fee."

Yeah, about those much lower fees.  Let us know if that a real thing or if you get scammed by a ghost site.  Many start-ups offer low fees and then if they don't get any investors they will shut down and come up with another plan.  It happens all the time.  I live amongst the vultures in Silicon Valley and have seen and heard all the stories since 1984.
