Yes ebay is a good way to sell items, but the amount it costs is ridiculous when you think about it. Yes we have a choice whether we want ot use it blah blah blah, but the problem is they know they can get away with charging so much as theres no competition.
If you sell an item at £10 and the buyer pays by paypal, they get over £1.50 in fees. 15% in fees is alot! Of course its a good business and i dont blame them for exploiting the fact they more or less have the monopoly. Its still shocking.
I cant see it ever changing though as ebay are that developed now that it would be so hard for anyone to compete with them.
