OK -yep I'm venting - I just found out that ebay charges 9.9% on final auction price !!! And I found out the hard way so sellers on Ebay beware!! I always buy and sell my kite gear on here and love seabreeze :-)
I recently sold an outboard motor on Ebay for $1825 - and just got the Ebay fee of - wait for it - $180 !!!!!
What a rip off !!
Vent over ...........

Sellers need to realize that Fee Bay wants shipping included in the selling price too.

What ever happened to the good Old Trading Post ? I reckon its in a strong position to reinvent itself - charge a fee to list but don't gouge when an item is sold - yes FEE BAY is a very accurate description!!

I'm not sure what your point is? I sold a lathe on ebay and got an invoice for $300. its what id expect? yeah its frustrating but in the end its also billion $$$$ global business.

One of the more entertaining rants, how did you think eBay made money?

They also own paypal so they get a cut of all transactions

Didn't read T&C, huh. What's the problem exactly?
