element101 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm at $60ish right now myself. Its great until that ebay bill hits my paypal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylovesdrunks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 ebay is all kinds of retarded. i listed one thing that sold for $72 and my ebay fees were $7.45. add the $2 paypal charges and it's all kinda of whack. but i guess the threadmaker made like $800 in sales?

Guest kevinb Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 How much stuff did you sell to have $82 in fees?not that much the shit just realy add's up plus the fact that ebay also own's pay pal so they get even more of your $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I can tell you that I've spoken with paypal employees and they're scared as shit for their jobs. If that's any consolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

element101 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I sell alot of stuff on ebay and I never understand how the fees get the to amount they do. Its insane. But i guess its worth it in some aspect, at least for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actiondan Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 someone explain ebay and paypal fees to someone like me who has never sold anything via ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You sell something, ebay takes money. You take money out of paypal, ebay, by ownership of paypal, takes money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleevanswastaken Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Also if you live in a country outside of the US, paypal offers shitty exchange rates. I remember all summer they had the canadian dollar way higher than it should have been just to squeeze and extra couple bucks from me every time I withdrew money. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 by the time i stopped on ebay i was paying roughly 800 bucks a month to them in fees for selling records. I liked those "fuck ebay" skeletons you used to put in the orders. I think my highest fee charge was almost $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I've gotten up to $150ish and I agree, I have NO idea how it gets that high. It seems like they take about 25%. It seems like it never goes down. I don't know why they don't send a monthly statement with each charge per auction. Actually, I do. Then no one would pay it.

kyleevanswastaken Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I am pretty sure ebay is like the OZ of the internet, with all of the analrape and sketchy activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooramen Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I haven't sold much on it but it truly is absolute rape. They took about $10 off of one record I sold for $70~ and these days sellers have barely any recourse for a false paypal claim besides covering their asses with proof of shipment and delivery confirmation. If I want to sell, I am going to post things on here, fuck ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinb Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 From what i've head even delivery confirmation dosent work in the seller's favor on pay pal claims all of the time, wich is fucking bullshit because thats all they have for proof of shipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then no one would pay it. ummm, you know you can just click on your account at any time and view a by the month invoice that has each charge per auction, with what they charged, what auction it was for, and what time they charged you for it, etc. also every month they email you your monthly invoice as well, though its not individualized but it includes a link to your account page in your my ebay section with the individualized charges.

I liked those "fuck ebay" skeletons you used to put in the orders. i still send those out with all the orders. only sometimes im a space and totally forget to throw one in. i copied like 500 of them, so i have a huge stack of them right by my packing supplies.
