EBAY is quickly losing market share with their onerous and outrageous fees. On the last items I sold between the EBAY fees, PayPal fees, etc. it ended up being close to 15 % that they deducted. They even get a cut of the shipping costs even though they don't ship the item. It is their way of making up for losses from large volume sellers. I will never deal with ERAPE again. On another related note, shipping fees are continuing to increase. UPS,FedEX and even the USPS are charging much higher fees than last year making shipping something to factor in when purchasing. They say it is a fuel surcharge when fuel prices have been on the decline in most of the country. I was going to ship a vehicle with Reliable or Passport. It was a short trip, less than 200 miles. They wanted 1200 bucks plus a 200 dollar fuel surcharge. Never again.
