[Sithus1966]

$100 Knife on ebay

Cost of Business
$13.00 Ebay Fee
$5.00 Paypal Fee
$10.00 USPS Shipping
$50.00 My cost on Knife
$ 2.00 Packing Supplies
=
$20.00 Profit not worth my time to sell it!!! Who is getting rich?

A bit of an exaggeration there?

My point is that everyone gets a cut. Like was said earlier in this thread higher fees, higher price passed on to the buyer. When I started selling on Ebay it seemed fair, not so much anymore.

Exactly, it used to be fair where I would get $2 and Ebay would get $2, now I get $1 (if I am lucky) and Ebay gets $3......You get the idea!

Honestly, I breeze over the offerings with the BIN because 99% (stat made up on the spot) of them are for new in the box knives, and a quick compare with Amazon shows them to be substantially overpriced on the 'bay. Amazon provides me with free 2-day shipping, and I can build up Marriot points on my purchases also.
For Ebay, I stick with the real auction listings, which are few and far between. Probably better for my wallet as well!
