Hate ebay/heypal fees and new procedure

[Ahbroody]

Sorry I just wanted to vent.
Need to sell a pair of extra hockey skates so I posted them up on ebay. Well they sold for 230 plus shipping. Ebay fees were like 16.00 heypal hits me for another 7.00. Yup 10% It just seems high to me. There has got to be a limit on this I am guessing but failed to research cant see paying 230 to sell something for 2300.

Then heypal has a new practice to protect the buyer errrr make money on intrest. They now are holding all funds in their accounts for sellers who have less than 100 transactions till the buyer leaves you positive feedback or 3 weeks pass with no negative feedback. I sell and buy occasional items on ebay and have for like 5 years and still dont have 100 transactions. Well I do but sometimes people dont leave feedback either way. I am guilty of this also. I imagine the majority of users are like me. There has got to be 100s of thousands of persons that they are doing this to. So basically as packages often take 5-7 days to get there, they hold the money likely in a large account making additional money off the intrest as at any given time I imagine there is a fairly large amount of money in the account.

Again sorry for the rant. I guess I will sell more stuff on craigslist and try to find a ****** alternative. BamBam sends my money uspsit seems to work good and is cheap
