I agree that fees are high, but, when you consider the market you reach, its more than reasonable.

I really get irritated, however, when they keep making listing fees less and less, and final value fees more and more....and the final value fees are so difficult to find on their site as you create your listing. For someone who doesn't sell often, they usually are shocked when they see how much their account gets charged!

I certainly wish E-bay went back to a graduated final value fee system...unfortunately, its long gone..we're stuck with approx 9%, and it HURTS!

That said... I've probably had a single bid war between two people pay for a whole year's worth of fees...so..its hard to complain. I would feel guilty listing an item on SRP classifieds for some of the prices my auctions fetched...with auctions, it takes the guilt out of it, because... I didn't set the price

E-bay can charge what they charge because they are E-bay. Google should start an auction site...
