Question 10% from the total? Whats going on? in Member To Member Support DO NOT DELETE https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/10-from-the-total-Whats-going-on/qaq-p/4307550 <P>SO i just put up my very first ebay item and when I look at the T&amp;C, it says Ebay and paypal take 10 and i think 3%? Is this true? I know Ebay is a business but thats really high especially when other websites like Ebid or Gumtree offer free or 2%...Whats going on?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>EDIT.. &nbsp;The Ebay charges are really high. I've since posted my ads on other sites for free or 2%. Why is Ebay charging so much commision on sales? It's a really bad business model and now i don't really trust them since their cut is so high. Paypal fee's are acceptable. It's specifically Ebays charges that I have issue with and just wanted to know if there's a button i should have pressed or is this their normal charge? 5% is even high regardless of exposure and ive since seen many posts complaining about the charges. It's just a shame since I would now not use ebay to sell after this unless it was small things. Such a shame</P> Sun, 05 Jul 2015 14:39:21 GMT gavmason 2015-07-05T14:39:21Z 10% from the total?
