We pay way to many fees

Yesterday I sold 6 Birdkeeper magazines for only $12, I try to keep my prices as low as possible and sell them cheap, I have seen individual mags being sold for $5. But yesterday it was not worth selling the mags at all because of the fees I paid

Final value fee = $1.19

Final value fee on shipping = $2.48 (overseas buyer)

PayPal fee = $1.63

Total paid in fees = $5.30

So $12 - $5.30 = $6.70, this is all I made from selling my mags for $12, why so many fee’s, now I know why they try to discourage sellers being paid by bank deposits because eBay gets paid a second lot of fees with PayPal.
