To sell an Item I have to use PayPal - no PayPal no listing. After my item sold PayPal takes a cut and then ebay takes their cut - 9.9% to be exact. I really cannot justify the 9.9% fee. I can understand a small fee being a fixed price for the service provided but a 9.9% fee of the final value is a joke. The same amount of effort goes into an item if it is $1 or $1000. Both ebay and the seller do no extra work on the $1000 item. Fees like that should be directed to the big businesses.
Percentage-based fees aren't due to the work involved, or suggestive that it costs eBay / PayPal more to facilitate a sale of $1000 than it does a $10 one, but the higher value something is, the higher risk the seller, PayPal, and (to a much lesser extent) eBay take on that sale. It's also intended to keep up with inflation without having to do continual pricing reviews.
