An easy way to look at it is if you sell a set of drums for a 1,000

shipping is a $100.00

your fee including paypal is 129.00 or about 13% of the sale.

9% on the sale 9% on ship plus 3% to paypal.

ALSO they have raised their max fee from $100 to now $250.00

So now a 3k kit will cost you $250.00 to ebay Plus fee on ship Plus paypal fee !!

As far as how many people one actually reaches, true ebay has around a 100 million users BUT how many are drummers, how many are looking for a 3k kit, used or vintage etc....so the ticker at the bottom is what counts.

Also ebay has done away with the 3 and 7 day refund, it is now 14 and 30. They are looking to go to 30 day refund, which is crazy, true you can sell returns not accepted, but all a buyer has to do is complain and you will get zapped. They think all the sellers are like walmart.

Yea selling on ebay is getting quite ridiculous. I usually stick to selling privately on forums at a lower price than ebay. It is harder to sell and a lot more work but then I don't have to deal with their horrid fees for doing almost nothing and can pass savings right onto the person interested.
