    Holy shit fuck eBay.

    10% listing fee on top of the 3% PayPal charge?

    I cant even wrap my head around that, how long has that been there?

    That eBay debilitates auto immune function has been common knowledge for years, braw.

    EDIT: Also, PayPal is known to cause cell mutations, so watch yourself out there.

    eBay fees are insane. I made a nice sum of money about 13-15 years ago with them but gave up when they started hiking up rates making it not worth it to me anymore.

    The rates were trending up horribly in that era and ever since have got way out of control which is why some people who would sell on eBay take the risk of being mugged selling on craigslist.

    What is sad is that eBay runs a fucking monopoly and has for years. Despite the fact people bitch about the rate increases they continue to sell on the site. As much as it pains me to say it eBay knows how to extract max value from sellers which is extremely smart of them.

    I met a guy who works for eBay and he said if he wanted to sell something he'd never use eBay. Tells you all you need to know.

    Did he say how he would sell instead?

    The fact that they charge final value fees on shipping is so wrong.

    Not to mention they auto take the side of the buyer if there is even the slightest problem. Also not to mention PayPal can and will freeze your balance for as much as 60 days if you sell some stuff out of the blue.

    Two plus years ago I wanted to maximize selling a bunch of gold and silver coins and people were paying a solid 20% over spot value on ebay. I got fucked over for $800 from one guy in Chicago who said they never received the coins even though someone at his house signed for them. And then because of that and the fact that I didnt have a long selling history they froze $7K that I collected form the sales for 60 days.

    Fuck E-Bay. Fuck them right in the ass. I'll never do business with them again.

    And while we are at it - fuck the scam buyers too. I had a bunch of auctions where I was selling something and I'd get payment withing 2 minutes of closing with an extra $50 thrown in asking if I could deliver it within 12-24 hours. Sure enough 24-48 hours later I'd get a note from e-bay/PayPal not to ship anything to this seller and they are going to reverse the credit to my account. Thankfully I never sent anything until it was 100% cleared but this happened to me 3 different times.
