VERY OLD THREAD.,

The purpose of dragging it up is?

To whinge about the ebay commission on postage.....and he is not even a seller!!!

And to claim that couriers are better and cheaper. Not noting (or possibly realising) that the postage method is up to the individual seller, not eBay. Or that couriers are not necessarily the best option for a lot of buyers.

Ive just taken down my Items for sale as Im sick of these ridiculous charges by eBay. They are sucking sellers dry for the pleasure of the share holders. I just sold a $990 item for $685 to move it from stock. I was then hit with a $74.60 fee and a $15.70 shipping fee as this was a large parcel going overseas add to this the $30.18 foi PayPal transaction and I'm down $120.48 on one item or 17.6%. Nothing but a pack of blood sucking sharks. Done my last sale on ebay. Good luck all. 

I am happy for you. Was there any point in dragging up a four and a half year old thread? Except, maybe, to highlight the fact that these charges have been in place for that long.

I assume you realised that about that long ago, otherwise you should have been checking your fees a bit more closely.

Quicksales.com.au is showing as SHUT DOWN !!!

That did not last long!!

QS was a possible option when this thread was current, many years ago. Yet another example of the futility of dragging up old threads.

QS shurt down in June. They started, as OZtion, before 2008.

They shut down because the parent only bought them for the backend software, to use on their other sites. They never advertised or promoted the joint, evgen though they sponsor TV shows and cars for their other arms. They stopped charging fees years ago and stopped maintaining QS around the same time.
