omg. I think they found a new way to get more money.
So before it seemed like you paid about 7% or it seemed to be what I paid when I listed. Today I got this

" We're writing with some exciting news about eBay fees. Starting June 16:
Every 30 days, your first 5 Auction-style listings will have NO Insertion Fees when you list with eBay's Sell Your Item form or Simple listing form--regardless of your start price.

The first 5 listings with no Insertion Fees will have a Final Value Fee of 8.75% of the sales price or $20, whichever is lower. Additional items sold during the same 30-day period will have the same Insertion Fees and Final Value Fees as they do today."

So they make it sound like they are giving you a deal but in the end now they are charging you almost 9% of the purchase price. Then you add in the 3% from heygal and you are now paying 12% for most average sales.
