[Closed] 10% eBay fees are a rip off

I was going to list some parts on eBay but was horrified and wonder if anyone else has seen this.

They now charge you 10% on the final sale price upto £400. This means you pay them £40 for a £400 sale. You then have the paypal fees on top as well.

Rip off!

I gave up on ebay ages ago, they seem to only interested in business sellers these days.

Still plenty of buyers on there willing to pay 15% more than things are worth though...
