    I like a ranting thread!

    I would like to rant about the 10% charge on the final listing fee that is now being applied, absolutely disgusting :mad:

    If you can sell anywhere else with ebays exposure any cheaper I would love to know. You don't have to sell on ebay

    If you're being charged 10%, you're a private seller. So you get free listings.

    Also, you get free image hosting, and free image placement in the item search results (Gallery, which wasn't always free).

    If you don't like it, try ebid. When you don't sell anything, try Amazon. And when you realise their fees are considerably higher than ebay's, you'll come crawling back to ebay.
    Back on MSE after a 5 year hiatus.

    Why are there never threads about Amazon fees?

    I find 'disgusting' a strange choice of word..I obviously don't take ebay nearly seriously enough.
