Quoted from woody24:Sellers have to jack up the prices just to cover all the fees and costs. Ebay in general rips off sellers. I made a total of $60 from selling an item for $160 after all the fees and shipping cost. Wasn't worth it. I would have had to have sold the item for twice the amount to get what I wanted from it. And at that point, people would be complaining that my prices were too high.
Just because a price is high, doesn't mean they get all that.
Quoted from SeaLawyer:Itβs true that eBay has jacked their transaction fees in the last few years.
eBay and Paypal costs about 20% in fees for sellers. Now if you offer free shipping and misguessed that amount it can definitely eat up some profits....
