So you have to add these costs to the cost of the item.Which may make the cost of the
items less attractive.
There's always craigslist or kijiji, etc
This is why I don't sell on fleabay any more

Subject: Ebay fee change as of 4/1
I read an AP article that says that Ebay will start charging as the Ebay
fee charge, not 10% of the selling fee or $50, whichever is less, but
rather 10% plus the shipping charges.
I would encourage everyone here who is selling a 300# printer for $50 to
take a close look at whether to sell anything on ebay anymore if this is
accurate.
I sort of sympathize with Ebay in trying to clamp down on the crop of
people who now have low prices (buy it for a buck) but $30 shipping costs.
However this move pretty much makes me want to pull everything I have,
as there will be a negative outflow on my account by my calculation for
my Wyse terminals ($40) etc. by the time I sell them. I'm not
interested in paying people to take my stuff.
