Ebay is so expensive!!

[onei0403]

Are Ebay trying to get rid of the little sellers? I am new to selling, just trying to get rid of some stuff to help pay for decorating my house.

I was lucky enough to sell a piece of jewellery and between Ebay and Paypal, I have paid over $104 in fees, to say that I am amazed is putting it mildly.

I read the fee structure but didn't 'comprehend' just how high the fees would be.

I have also noticed that there are a lot of watchers but they don't buy is this normal?

What can I do to reduce fees and entice sellers to buy?

Thought I would see whats happening in the sellers department.Oh boy what a mix up,best to not ask any questions as too many negative answers. I thought people were meant to help people.

Telling people where they're going wrong is negative and unhelpful? I'd rather be told so I can fix it before I get sanctioned by eBay, but that's just me.

If you want affirmation go to a church.

How is answering your post being critical, you said you did not understand why the shoes were removed but this listing was not, I merely explained why and also gave you a head's up on the consequences of not reading up the rules and regulations prior to listing. Had you done so you would have known about keyword spamming.

I don't care or judge what a person buys or sells.

When I see an item listing might cause a bit of bother for the seller/buyer surely it is best to say something rather than let then continue on knowing they will end up with more violations?

If eBay was trying to get rid of the small sellers, why would they be giving them 30 free listing per months?  That is very generous, and gives people the chance to list at price they are happy with, and not to have to worry that if the item does not sell they still have to pay listing & re-listing fee, which may make not worthwhile to even try.
