MSE News: eBay sellers beware - its fees now eat into postage costs

Toutstar

The same organisation charges twice. Sell through ebay = charge
Receive money through PayPal =charge
They're nothing but pirates, steal from both!
I understand the fees with eBay but PayPal? You have to use them and then they charge you. All it is a bank transfer, no wonder they have such spectacular bonuses!

Oh, I feel so strongly about being charged twice for the same item and they just milk it! I'm going to spread the word amongst as many of my friends as possible about the hidden charges of these (1) organisations. An American rip-off!

I'm so naive

You spread the word brother. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned these hidden charges before, they've been getting away with it for about 15 years. Imagine companies making a profit, whatever next?

Do they even bother reading past the first post?

Perhaps start a third business in advice that matters.

What free postage means, if is included in price as" free " or charged separat,someone has to pay it,
So is actually another increase in fees without no doubt
