    I list my products on ebay because it still consistently finds folks who otherwise wouldn't find my boards. Their move away from paypal was a big revenue grab for them as their current fees essentially add up to what used to be their fee plus what used to be paypal's fee. The crap part about that is they advertised the change as a savings for sellers - that was false. For small items like mine I think their fees are comparable to what it would cost to sell on competing services (amazon, etsy). For a large item like a pinball machine, how do the fees you paid compare to what an auction company would have charged? In my view, fees on sales in my pinside shop are a bargain in comparison to ebay.
