EBAY rant

[Bow Tie 67]

Their seller fees are outrageous!!!

So I get an email promoting their " first five single-quantity auction-style listings to be listed on the site in a 30-day period have an insertion fee of $0.00 for eligible categories " So I think thats cool you save a little bit on the front end. ( insertion fee for .99 would have been .15 cents

Well while they have me distracted on the front end they are sticking it up my rear end. 8.75% final value capped at $20

After the first 5 it goes to 8.75% on the first $25 then 3.5% after that amount. So if you have an item that sells between $25 and $525 you are getting hosed on the first 5 auctions.

I have not sold on ebay in a long time, and do not plan on using them in the future.

I was so pissed I wrote this and edited the auction I have running.

I wonder if the auction will get pulled?
