Only just realised how high eBay fees can go.

Have the fees been changed in the last year or so? Or have I just never really noticed it before because I haven't sold much?

I just got billed for £52!! Shocked

Yes I've sold about 8 items, totalling £400, but what the heck, the percentage of the final value fee is through the roof, on top of all the insertion fees etc.

Grrrrr Angry

What a ripoff!

I'm definitely considering Amazon here. Thing is, you just can't beat eBay for target audience. Atleast, not here in the UK/EU.
