Answer 1

I think it is pretty F-ing ridiculous if you ask me! It makes it not even worth it to sell stuff on ebay since you barely get any money for what you sell after all the ebay and paypal fees are taken out!

Answer 2

i read them the other day....there really taking the pee now

there getting far to greedy,and there stabing in the back the poeple who  made them...THE SELLERS!

Answer 3

WOW,   full marks for copying all that down, not that I read it all.

its getting ridiculous, after you've paid pay pal and e.bay, postage etc you come out with barely anything.

Then people just don't want to pay a proper price for stuff.  Like they quibble over pennies.

I for one am coming out of it, Id rather give the stuff to a charity shop, least then its gone without any hassle.

Answer 4

The fees are far too high for low value items and not worth the effort of listing, packaging and posting. I have tried finding a link on Ebay to complain, but so far no joy.

Answer 5

You can't knock it - I put a vehicle on sale last night at 20:03, it sold with buy it now at 20:17 - good value, I'd say!

Answer 6

i no, there takin the p**s. i sell quite regulary but its so annoying when most of the money i make are going on ebay fees, its now like £5 an item in fees and also paypal charge a h**l of alot too for basically doing nothing. they must make a fortune
