These fees seem to be geared at people with a business, which is fair enough,, but for those that want to sell things here and there its just plain discouraging,, it would seem that if I sell something for $550.00  ( that is perhaps a one off thing, an item bought and then not needed) I am out of pocket on this quite a bit, now you cannot say " well price the item to cover this" when that item cost you this or more in the first place, I know Ebay is a business and not a community free service,, but 9.9 % ????? People buying on Ebay are not buying from your local Woolies or target with all the services offered at these store so therefore they want items to be cheaper than the are in thier local shops and on top of this they the buyer are paying postage which adds to the final price for them. I do agree that well if you don't like it go elsewhere not Ebay,,,,, but hey,  they have this forum so why not voice my thoughts.
