<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Broseph, post: 1804813, member: 57276&quot;]yes, that&#039;s just an example.</p><p><br /></p><p>It goes for any items.&nbsp; Basically it just shows that people think they are making money when they are losing it! This is because ebay&#039;s fees are cryptic. All they talk about is how it is now <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> FREE <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> for most listings and say how you only pay a final value fee if your item sells. You have to do some searching to find the actual fees. Plus, they don&#039;t mention their sister company charging 2.9% +30 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>They also charge BOTH of those fees on the total selling price + shipping. And when you look in your paypal, if your item sold for $100, it shows that you received $100. It actually hides that fee on another page where you look at net payment of $96.80. Then, ebay&#039;s bill would be due a month later. Both fees become out of sight, out of mind. That ebay bill will be another $10, taking you down to $86.80 before shipping charges.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Ebay fees have moved up from about 5 up to the current 10%. They say &quot;they listened&quot; to the community&nbsp; by doing away with listing fees. </p><p><br /></p><p>In doing so, they have adjusted the final value fee to INCREASE the amount ebay makes on the sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, people didn&#039;t like getting nickel and dimed on little fees that added up to a few bucks. Now those fees are gone and you pay a larger % of the final value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
