Yes, ebay is expensive. It's even worse for me as I sell in $US and when I withdraw funds it has to get converted to $AUD and the exchange rate they use has no bearing to reality. Between ebay, Paypal and currency fees I usually budget for losing 20% of the sale price. On the plus side, it gives me access to buyers all around the world that are interested in buying what I'm selling. Without ebay I wouldn't be in the game so I also look at the fees as the cost of doing business.
