Whilst it's a bit annoying when prices go up I'm a bit suprised at the number of "moans and groans" about Ebay/Paypal.... think back a little while before they existed and what outlets did we have for selling our items, not much...most of them just gathered dust in a bottom drawer.
They're a business providing a service..if you're not happy with the service best thing to do is stop using it.

This 17% figure is an approx complete 'take' in fees if you combine all the fees you as an ebay seller are charged. You add the listing fee, the FVF fee and the Paypal fee...if you add all these and take an average the normal combined fee take is in the order of 17%..before the latest FVF rise. You can do the sums yourself...just add all the fees and work out the percentage take from the final bid price....
Total fees can only be as high as you quote when paying a high listing fee for a very high value item or when lots of "extras" are included.This 17% figure is an approx complete 'take' in fees if you combine all the fees you as an ebay seller are charged.

I've done the sums and I'm not going to be paying as much as your 20-25% "guess" for the stuff I sell, including camera lenses, including to overseas buyers.

There have always been dealers who would sell on commission.I think they usually charge 20%, never looked attractive to me. It now looks like it will be cheaper going down that route than ebay, probably not as quick though.Whilst it's a bit annoying when prices go up I'm a bit suprised at the number of "moans and groans" about Ebay/Paypal.... think back a little while before they existed and what outlets did we have for selling our items, not much...most of them just gathered dust in a bottom drawer.
