Fees too high

[jesso123]

Fees are ridiculous!!! I'm done with with selling on eBay. Asked buyer to pay by eft to avoid paypal fees or to contact me if there was any issues. Instead they just paid with paypal without contacting me and I was charged $10. I thought ok it's not too bad. But then I logged into eBay and was slammed with a $50 bill. The sale was around 450. Absolutely crazy. I sold the item at cost price to be fair and I've lost $60. I understand a small fee of up to $5 but $50 is just a scam. I will never use eBay again to sell stuff

Who likes fees??? Whoever in this forum wrote that the fees structure is fair must be somehow connected to ebay. I was planning to sell some old electronics on ebay but stopped after seeing the new super high fees. Going back to Gumtree. Yap. Good old gumtree.

This thread is SEVEN YEARS old. The person you are replying to hasn't been on the boards for a fair chunk of that.

The claim that anybody who knows how eBay works must be working for eBay is the resort of those who can't or won't do their due diligence. And certainly isn't factual.

I'm sure the tyrekickers on Gumtree will welcome you with open arms. And closed wallets.
