Ebay's fees have become hefty

Hello Ebay community, I do not understand why I am getting charged 20% of my selling fees plus postage since I was made to give up on PayPal ?

As I realise that some items which I am selling for £1 plus £3.20 postage not counting the envelop, bubble wrap and the cellar tape would yield 16 pences profit, I wonder if it is still worth selling with this platform.

Please let me know if charging me 20% was a mistake or if it is the actual new fees.

Thank you.

The new fees are 12.8% of the item and postage, plus 30p.  It is the fixed 30p that messes with the overall %age and makes the fees a variable %age and heftier as a total when the item and postage are low value.  

 

Low value items are only viable in large quantities.
