Or just state that the article you're selling is your property, which we remain so until sold and that payment will be made/accepted as you see fit Ok so they could remove the listing and people may have viewed it by then, but so what it's less money going to line their greediy pockets. You can fight fire with fire! If everyone boycotted Ebay then they’d have to reduce fees.

None the less i totally agree with car buff. Ebay fee's aswell as the compulsive use of Paypal and their extortionate fee's is beyond ridiculious. It is paramount to theft. Do not waste your time or effort, or your hard earned cash to help either of these greedy companies. Try a real boot fair, it's more fun, you'll meet real people, and you'll stand a better chance of making a few quid for your efforts. You've been warned. How up-to-date is this info ?

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:58:09 +0000 http://www.trevorginn.com/reduce-ebay-paypal-fees/#comment-67326 Charging two fees under the guises of two companies is very surreptitious of ebay. It is exorbitant and gouges users. The entire fee should be consolidated so users can understand they are paying ebay's listing fee and final value fee, and Paypal's transaction fees. In other words you pay 8.75% of final sale value on ebay (or $25, whichever is less), ebay's listing fee (usually another $.25), and Paypal's 2.9% and $.30. Four fees!! WOW! What a rip off. They're raking in 11.65% plus about $1 in flat fees. Since the percentages are both subtracted off of the final sale fee (instead of in series), Ebay & company gets every seller for at least 11.65% of their final sale! That's more than Chicago's sales tax 0f 10.25%, the highest in the U.S. If ebay wants to gouge its customers, they could at least combine all fees to make them a little more transparent. From now on I will only list items on ebay...not sell them. I will cancel my auctions before they expire to avoid these ridiculous fees and sell my items directly to buyers - hence only using ebay as advertising. And for that I will sacrifice the listing fee...nothing more. I might also create a second ebay account and outbid everybody on my own auctions and contact the next highest bidder and offer the auction item to them at the highest price they bid (outside the realm of ebay of course). Any way to avoid these ridiculous fees. Thanks, but NO THANKS! Charging two fees under the guises of two companies is very surreptitious of ebay. It is exorbitant and gouges users.

I don't use eBay a lot but I do like to watch the pennies. I just listed a £4,700 Filmmaking Workshop on a Greek island. Take a look: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290128900742&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:UK:31 Cheers, Thanks! I don’t use eBay a lot but I do like to watch the pennies.
