That seems real high. Can you post the auction number so I can look at it.

I think if you sell less than 50 items a month and don't have an Ebay store, its 10%. But that is on total price including shipping and handling. Plus paypal.

They have not earned the nick name "evilbay" for nothing.

Typical big corporation now, especially since they bought paypal. Which is why you are almost forced to accept and use paypal.

Their website is terrible, too.

they do charge 10% but even I can figure that $200 is 20% of $1000. they use the accounting firm of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.

I have given up on the evil ebay, I rather sell on craigslist or on groups on Paypal. You then have to only give paypal their 10 pieces of silver

So...is it the price of the fee's or the fact that there is a fee at all that makes it evil?
