    I am also done with eEbay. I have about 6-7 razors to go (which I have no time to work on so selling as is) and I am done. I will create web page and try to sell what I can. I guess no one will ever hear about my page as you have to pay money to search engines to be added to their fav group :-) Stupid comercial world....

    It isn't true that you have to pay money to be found by search engines. You just have to be found by their trawler. To do this you have to put some HTML code on your page headers or footers.

    In retrospect, maybe ebay is not so bad.Have been a seller since I think 1998.
    Back than the final fee was I think 3/4%.
    But They also charged a listing fee and picture fees which they no longer do.
    Also back in the day it was all Postal M.Os or cashiers cks.Had to go to the bank,get cash, go to the P.O or pay a fee to get a Cashiers Ck.
    Maybe it is almost a wash from back in the day.

    straightrazorheaven,

    you might be complete right as I don`t have any idea about HTML and web creation, designing, search engines. I have grew up with computer since I was 4 which does not make sens, but it is truth...:-)

    Well from what I see they do listing, pictures and editing fees.
    Just recently I had one item which didn`t sell for quite long and all previous re-listing were almost free but one day I renew listing and got charge with $15 fee!!! They calculated all previous listing, added and charged me! I was shocked...

    Outrageous! But I simply deducted that much money from what I was willing to bid on it. Plain and simple.

    Dont be a sucker!
    There is still an incentive for sellers to overcharge for shipping, and that is to rip you off as a customer if there isn't a return policy where a seller pays for return shipping.

    That's happened to me a couple of times. You get a refund when an item is poorly described and the seller agrees to take it back, but the shipping is set up to discourage you from even thinking about it because in the end you'll still be out a lot of coin and have nothing to show.

    The higher ebay's fees get, the less I use it. I would sooner see them put some of that in the listing fee so that items actually sell instead of just sitting on there and rotating, but they know they're looking to keep gobs of listings to make it look like there's more good stuff there than there really is.

    You either have to run into a new BIN listing that's low or get something on a tuesday at 2 am, something that was partially mislabeled. Otherwise, there aren't many deals to be had there.
