Are Ebay trying to get rid of the little sellers? I am new to selling, just trying to get rid of some stuff to help pay for decorating my house.

I was lucky enough to sell a piece of jewellery and between Ebay and Paypal, I have paid over $104 in fees, to say that I am amazed is putting it mildly.

I read the fee structure but didn't 'comprehend' just how high the fees would be.

I have also noticed that there are a lot of watchers but they don't buy is this normal?

What can I do to reduce fees and entice sellers to buy?
