I sold something for $100 and between:

insertion fees $3.5 (deducted twice because it was listed in two categories),
ebay's commission for the sale ($8.75)
about $4 for paypal fee

I'm ending up with $83 (!) that I can release about 21 days after the transaction even took place.

Does that make any sense??

So ends a saga older than time itself.

Well, use amazon then. You can list anything you like for free....

But they take a slightly bigger cut of it. Only slightly though. I never sell on ebay. Amazon Marketplace is far better.

I don't hate eBay, but the seller fees have gotten more and more ridiculous over the years. I don't sell much anymore for that reason.

The only thing I hate about eBay is the PayPal disputes. It takes forever to settle a claim.

I don't hate it but it's not nearly as good as it use to be. The seller fees have driven a lot of people a way and it's much harder to find things and harder to find them at great prices.

also when everyone else is selling the same product you are and once you send it you get a freakin email talking about "can you upgrade the delivery?" im like wow...we mailed it to you the same day you made the purchase, how much faster than that do you want it?

It's still generally a better deal for games than trading them in at Gamestop.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

When something like that happens and I'm not surprised (which is happening right now), I know that humankind is a failure.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

I hate ebay. Mostly because my wife finds crap like Jimmy Choo sunglasses and Coach purses (not knockoffs) and feels the need to buy them all.

I've had at least two situations that I can think of where either the item I ordered was defective (video card) or the item received wasn't as pictured (jewelry) and I was able to file a dispute and get my money back (video card) and return the item to sender with a full refund (jewelry).
