Last I checked you'll be paying out closer to or above 15% of the ending price because of the shipping price that gets integrated into the final value. For pins or anything that costs $$$ to ship, I think that's VERY unfair. say, for argument's sake you sell a pin for 1000.00 and add 300.00 for shipping. The final value fee is on 1300.00 NOT 1000.00 like it should be. I won't even get into the return policy that ebay FORCES on the seller...be very, very careful with this. You may want to consider other methods other than ebay.

Quoted from Djshakes:

Boo hoo hoo. They have progressively raised their final value fees and provided a shittier product with less seller protection over the years.
I once had a pin listed for $6000. I get an email from someone local asking if they could come look at it and they supplied their phone number. I had it listed on clist and Mr pinball classifieds as well. The guy that emailed me never came to look at it. I ended up selling it through pinside or Mr pinball, I forgot which. I ended the item on ebay. They ding me with $600 final value fee and insisted I sold it off ebay. Fortunately someone on pinside posted the fine print of the user's agreement and I had to threaten arbitration and supply a ton of documentation showing the person that contacted me didn't buy it. I finally got a refund. It was a nightmare. Ebay is a monster corporation that doesn't give a shit about you. Funny to see so many people committed to them. I have over a quarter million dollars of sales on eBay. I sell trinkets periodically but cut back drastically.

Could not agree more with this^^ Ebay has ALREADY raised their fees to the point of absurdity...maybe it's because of abusers to the system, maybe not--I don't really care since I always adhered to the rules. The system they implemented is terrible. It is downright hostile, but it's a free market and one can choose NOT to use them. I am among that mindset after getting repeatedly screwed over by them and their fucked-up policies to actually PROTECT the scammers. If I advertise a pin an ebay and it sells elsewhere who the hell are they to impose a fee on me because they "suspect" i may have sold it to skirt fees. Do yourselves a favor and stop using ebay. You'll sleep better, trust me.
