    ebay/paypal suckass for selling

    sold something for $180, paypal charged me $8.40 to accept the charge. then ebay charge me almost $7. sorry, but to take almost 10% of your sale price is just no good for me. I won't be using them again. I'll go onto craigslist from now on.

    this is why people over charge for shipping. So at least it covers the commition costs.

    Once in a blue moon I would sell a DVD on Ebay. I charge $4 for shipping....some people think its too much.

    well lets see. Lets say I sell something for $10

    Media Mail: $1.59
    Envelope: $.99
    Paypal Com: $.70
    Ebay Com: $.40

    Thats $3.68 right there.

    Now 80% of other Sellers would charge anywhere from $5-$7 for a Fucking Shipping on DVD. Some are Rip-offs.

    I've had complaints from buyers that I overcharged their shipping with eBay sales. Gotta make my money on the transaction somehow.

    If it's stated in the auction that shipping is a flat fee of X amount and you still bid on it, well, then I assume that you've agreed that X amount is reasonable enough.

    That always kills me. First thing I check is any shipping and handling costs. So I know how much I could be paying.

    Calls those fees whatever you want. They are just part of the total costs.

    So if you win something for $1.00 and shipping is $10.00
    How much do you think the item is? A $1.00? If you do, you are an idiot.

    I saw a story on dateline once where this dude was selling powder cocaine on ebay; his auction was shut down after about 30 minutes.
