<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1193597, member: 23626&quot;]The fees eBay charges drives the prices up on the lowest priced items to where they are not beneficial to either buy or sell. The exhorbitant Postal rates on which eBay AND PayPal both charge a commission mean that an item can no longer sell for 99c except at a loss, even if the buyer pays the shipping. An example might be a book I recently sold. A hardcover modern mystery with a retail price 0f $27.99 that was read one time ans was &quot;like new&quot;. Sales price 99c shipping 3.99 totao 4.98 Shipping cost 3.01 PayPal fees 30c +3% = 45c PayPal fees 50c for a total cost of $3.96. Padded mailer cost at WalMart 5 for $3.55 + 28c sales tax equates to cost of envelope to 77c Figure about 3c for the cost of printing your label for paper and Ink. Now we&#039;re up to $ 4.62. So for recycling the book, taking it to the post office there is a 36c profit. Not me, no more. I will throw them away and save myself the trouble. I imagine coin sellers have the same problem. Supplies are costly, mailing is costly and everyone wants to get things for less than they cost to send. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe if people abandon eBay, the fee structure might change ?
