EBay and PayPal rip-off charges

I agree its a lot, and often its easier to take clothes to the charity shop than spend all that time to earn little profit however if you sell at a carboot sale you'll get pence for the item and people will still try and knock you down, plus there is the cold, as someone said....Student Moneysaver going to Paris next year!

the fact is why do people use ebay over the likes of ebid?
because they get more sales on ebay and the chance of higher sales prices
so for this service you pay.
i agree it adds up but thats the choice you make in listing as there are alternatives and plenty of online resources to check the toal costs0 -
I’m fuming about the new EBay Fees - 10% final value fee, are eBay having a joke!!
I wrote a letter of complaint only to get a standard email back. Which I replied to – then I get the exact same STANDARD email again....customer service I THINK NOT.
Can you speak to a human being at eBay anymore? NO. It’s all automated emails.
I sold some tickets I did not need on eBay - thought I’d get something back on them until eBay charged me 10% fee and I’ve not lost £55 on the tickets because of this fee.
The tickets were £345 – sold for £410 = eBay charge £39 – PayPal charge £14.14 – I’m left with £10 profit. Thanks EBAY.

Ebay is a business, like any other they are in it for the profit..0 -
It's a business not a charity- if you don't like their fees then don't use the service.
The risk of putting something on at 99p is that it will only sell for 99p - eBay will take 10% (not quite 60%) + paypal fees if thats the way you are paid.0 -

Surely you can just start your listing at a higher price...
Or go to an auction house and see if you like their fees.
And I dunno if I'm in the minority here, but it was obvious to me how much a percentage of my money is going to be paid to paypal + ebay as fees, and...well, I'm 14.Undergrad law student. Take my advice with a pinch of salt! :rotfl:0 -

came to the conclusion many years ago unless you can clear at least £5-£10 not woth the hassle of listing on ebay , anything less sell at a carboot , or down the tip0
