EBay new fee charges

[artemisia1558]

Hello, is anyone unhappy about the new fees structure?

I am paying nearly 20% on the sales I make. I feel that I am working for eBay because they make more than I do.

You now pay ebay 12.8% + 30p, no more paypal.

Old system was 10% ebay fee, 12.9% + 30p paypal, so slightly better off.

Hi, thanks for your reply. The fees are high and charged on postage costs too. While before we had to pay PayPal, now we pay eBay twice. The 30p flat fee is a deal breaker on sales of few pounds.

You always paid paypal the 30p anyway, as I said you are better off by .01%. Although on small value items, not noticible.

I am glad you are happy to pay the fees. However, I knew already about the new fees structure and did not need your information. The question was: is anyone unhappy with the new fees structure” not can you explain how it works.

No one is happy to pay fees,

If you read my replies, NO PAYPAL FEES, ebay fees 12.8% + 30p, apart from 0.01% cheaper, same total fees as before, not sure why you don't understand this.

So if something has always been unfair it should continue to be so. That is your point.
