Why is ebay taking over half what I sell my products for

Finally, kh-phdan closes the thread due to its age and invites participants to start a new discussion if desired.

I sell a product for 40.00 and after the sale ebay has charged me 21.00 how is this fair ?

They are making more money off me then I am making on the sale of the product . and ebay charing me a percentage of what the shipping costs are ! , whats with this its not fair at all , becasue in most cases the shipping costs for what I sell are more then what I am selling the product for .

If ebay dosent stop over charging sellers no one will be selling here anymore , because no one can affrod it , then they will have buyers but no sellers .

51% is more then I am willing to pay and I am removing all my listing until Ebay lowers their fee's for sellers , I suggest other sellers to do the same .

I can see ebay charging me maybe 5 or 10 total in fees for an item that sells for 40.00 as 21.00 is over half what I am selling the products for , there is no money in it for me any more .

And I supose there is no way I can contest these fees and get my money back is there ?

I will be doing the same I just sold a Beatles white album for over $400 almost 500 and then fees came in and I got $119 and some odd sense yeah eBay is starting to make no sense at all. Everybody start pulling your stuff now cause you’re gonna get ripped off very quickly and wait till the terrorist come in if your Canadian you’re gonna be broke.

You have responded to a thread from 2013 for which information, advice,etc may no longer be useful or relevant. It would have been best to start your own thread if you felt the need to draw attention to something occurring at present day times for which you could receive relevant current information.
