I pare my listing fees to the bone; my average selling price is around $9-10 bucks, I cannot afford to use gallery, subtitle of any of the other bells and whistles or I'd have nothing left. In the past I have been working on 10% total eBay fees, plus Paypal. 75% of my eBay sales come from my store and the recent changes are having a huge impact - thus far this month my fees are at 14% of sales. More importantly, though, sales overall are down. I could swallow the fee increases more easily if the buyers were there in any real number, but the buyer base just isn't what it was.
I now sell on other sites, have my own website which I am promoting heavily on a local level, and am in the process of opening a B&M showroom with limited opening hours (to start.) Just cannot depend on ebay any more.
