They tell you all the costs of getting them to sell your items for you, why then complain about it after!? They even ask you to sign an agreement which explains everything, to say you are happy for them to do so
They’re very vague about it and the percentage shifts depending on type of item and type of sale etcThey tell you all the costs of getting them to sell your items for you, why then complain about it after!?

And eBay weren’t always like this
For example now they hold payments for month even - when before it was PayPal payment almost immediate when now ebay uses a different system where it doesn’t go into your account (unless
You’re an older member who’s been on years ) you might sell something as you’re skint and then they withhold even the postage cost for a month - how’s that fair ?
That's 25% of the selling price, or just under 24% of selling price + postage. Do you have a breakdown of the charges that amounted to $70? @benjabbi paid just 13% (above), which seems much more reasonable, or was that due to taking advantage of a listings offer? I haven't sold anything on eBay for years, mainly because I can't be bothered with the hassle, but if I did, it would be good to know whether one of you missed a trick, or the other knew a trick, or whether it's just due to differences in territory.Just sold a fork on ebay for $280 + $15 shipping, that's a total of $295.
What appears in my account? $225.
You’ve got to sell 15 items before the month long wait for a payout changesI sold a pair of forks this week for £330 and received £287. It's a decent percentage but I knew this going in and more to the point, they were up on Facebook and here without so much as a sniff (apart from a scammer on FB), when I gave up and put them on Ebay, gone in two days and money in my account the day after. You can switch the payout setting to daily, I think default it's weekly or even monthly hence the long wait times but it's easy to change.
I've sold a few things recently on Ebay and their fees and payment withholding is just a joke now.
In fact it infuriated me so much I wished there was another place to be able to buy and sell parts, so I built a website to do just that.
I have listed some of my bits on there and have a whole load more to go on.
If you want to take a look or put some bits on there, then fill your boots. It's all free. No charges taken. Just list your bits.
All fully searchable aswell to make it easier to find items. I will be adding to the database of brands etc as it grows.
