<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 9608389, member: 36&quot;]Example: Item plus shipping = $100.&nbsp; Buyer pays shipping, but so what?&nbsp; EBay charges 15% of $100, not 15% of the item price.&nbsp; Subtract the fees and shipping charges and the &quot;promotion&quot; fee and you can easily hit 30%. If not more. </p><p><br /></p><p>They jacked up fees on ALL jewelry to pay for the &quot;Authenticators&quot; no one ever asked for or needed, and that most sellers can&#039;t access anyway.&nbsp; They&#039;re only used for fine jewelry and not all of that.&nbsp; Meanwhile, someone selling piles of Chico&#039;s or Paparazzi has to pay it too.&nbsp;&nbsp; Add in that and a 10% &quot;promotion&quot; fee so that some buyer can find your item without it being buried under 90 irrelevant listings and you can easily end up losing money based on fees alone.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now you know why eBay has fewer sellers than they used to, or one reason anyway. If you can&#039;t get your merch for pennies the rate of return doesn&#039;t even hit minimum wage. Better off working fast food.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
