Because eBay can charge them. And because the ACCC have decided eBay can charge them.

You're a bit late. For further information, refer the Australian Seller Release 14.1 boards.

Because they can. The ACCC do not have a problem with it.

But plenty of buyers and sellers do though. Is ebay biting the hand that feeds it ???

It's simple ,greedy rich **bleep**s always need more .There is one thing you can't buy on ebay and that is your youth back. The rest are material items and money on loan while you live. They are no happier than me.

Try advertising in a national newspaper and see how much it costs you! Try listing on some other auction sites where the fees appear to be less and see how many items you sell.

Nobody is forcing anyone to sell on ebay and if you don't like the fees don't use the site.

I can still make money selling on ebay and when I no longer can I will stop using the site but until then I accept that the only people who have any right to question their policies or their ethics are their shareholders.
