Who thinks ebay is a complete rip-off?
I'm talking about selling ofcourse, I mean you have, insertion fee's, final value fee's, paypal fees and more if you have to relist. Their fee's went up recently, I don't understand, running a website with no huge content can't be that hard, okay I know they are a huge company and have millions of visits a day or whatever, but surely, the billions they make are not just for the website, they are genuinely extorting money to make more profit, because they have essentially become a monopoly in online auction sites.

These "fee's" are huge now, Final Value Fee's are now 9.9%, paypal take about 5% and insertion fee's depend on price of listing, but essentially ebay will end up take upto 15% off the value of the item sold everytime you sell something.

Not to mention, ebay is full of fakes, cheap imports and fraudsters, so what justification have ebay got to consistently raise their fee's, paypal can legally freeze your account fot upto a month or can hold back payments if they want, not to mention the hassle of dealing with them when someone doesn't send you what you bought.

Sorry, I kind of rattled away from my main point, that's just how bad it is, I started using ebay 2 years ago, but since then it's become expensive, so what do you think about ebay's fee's.

I once sold my Wii in a bundle with 12 genuine games, 4 controllers and 4 nunchuks and other stuff for £650, the actual amount I got in the end was £568, that's me losing £82 on the spot. and to the guy that says set up a similar business, read what I typed, they pretty much have a monopoly on this kind of thing. No small auction site can come close to ebay, they used to be free and attracted millions of customers, prices rise slightly, but they still get more customers, no people have to stay there as they have no choice, so a small company could never compete. I have also been scammed loads, "the e-cheques", the "oh I transfered the money and am waiting, send it me now and I promise the money will be there tommorrow", I am so sick of it that I have stopped using it for 3 months now.

Totally agree with you AD H. E-bay has practically become a silent partner in the joint ownership of the item you sell! £82 for posting an item on their site and instantly debiting your bank account, is a total rip-off. The new fee's of 5.9% and 9.9% is extortion and I for one will not be using E-bay to sell anymore. Surely the only justification for this would be if E-bay was using the money to enhance security, from fraudulent users, for its members - we all know this will not be happening. E-bay used to be a place to find the odd bargain but with the price hikes, sellers obviously put there prices up, to compensate and these bargains are now minimal and hardly worth the effort or risk.

Yes, i agree 100%, theyre shooting themselves in the foot, and these days its all geared up in the buyers favour!! and they blatantly allow fakes to be sold, i know one user has reported a seller time and again for selling fakes and guess what?? theyre still there!! The fees are an absolute rip-off, if they let you sell items free of charge up to say £20 and anything more you would pay a fee, then that might encourage people, instead of bumping it up and up!!!

yeah, it can be costly but there are a few tricks that you can do first of all if you list an item at 0.99 its cheaper than jacking it up to 9.99. also the amount of days that you set your item 7 days is cheaper than 10 day but then again that can get you more bids. i think to be succesful on ebay is to get a ton of crap and sell it a low prices instead of a few things at high prices. aslo its best to do a little research on the things people on ebay really buy. another thing that i do is add the fees that they take off to my shipping fees so i can just get all that money back. good luck and i hope this helps

I've been using Ebay for years and I agree, it's gotten worst and worst for the honest everyday seller especially. More fees, more rules, they say they are making it better for everyone, but I think they are really looking after their own self interests.

I'm not sure about the selling side, but i would never use the site, i know more than one person (including my sister) who has had their bank account debited fraudulently through their e-bay paypal accounts.

Like any business there are expenses rent or lease, hydro, taxes ,wages
and so on. It's called the cost of doing business.You are not forced to deal there. Try setting up your own retail business and you will find out for yourself
