Hate ebay/heypal fees and new procedure

Nabinger16 · 03-22-2009, 10:59 AM

The way ebay triple dips into its sellers always burned my ass! They hit you when you list, they hit you when you sell, and then they freaken hit you when you receive payment through P P!

It's a great deal for them cause someone is making millions! Hell I saw a decommissioned aircraft carrier on ebay that sold for 12+million. I'm sure they negotiated the terms of the sale prior to listing it, but I have no doubt they still made a huge chunk of change just for the use of a tiny bit of bandwidth.

I have not liked using ebay in years since they started screwing people over with fees. They used to be cheap .. not any more. But the other options I have seen suck.

Yeah ebay is the only decent option out there, that is what allows them to charge such high fees. Eventually a good competitor will come around, just ask ticketmaster.

The last time I sold something on ebay was almost 4 years ago now......I've been using craigslist since I've moved or just take things to the thrift store because a lot of times it's not worth the hassle.
