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

It's more now - TWO YEARS later.

 

You haven't really added anything to the discussion, either.

eBay is a rip-off. I don’t mind paying a small fee to list but their fees are out of hand. I use Gumtree wherever I can.

Unless you have another ID you have only ever sold 2 items on ebay over a year ago.  It will hardly send ebay broke if you never sell here again.
