No need to obfuscate “eBay.”  Just don’t link to them

(Besides, you forgot “ebay.ca” at the top )

Good grief - they recently increased fees from 12.55% to 12.9% (0.35%) and now
are doing another 0.35% increase?

They probably only pay about 3% for payment processing so that's now over
10% right to feebay.

Well the CEO needs to pay for those pricey Cuban cigars he loves to smoke so
raising fees are one way to support his cancer habit

(this is a joke BTW)

Come on guys! We can obviously see that fee is being put to good use... with
the constant inventory uploading errors for hours on end. AND don't forget
all those new seller additions to make our life easier such as "My Collection"
BE FAIR!!

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick...

The OP was obviously talking about Ebay....

Here, we frequently (every two weeks, at weekends) get 70% or 80% off FVF for
non-store ebayers. So we pay the fixed fee plus about 4% in total including the
payment processing fees. That ends up being cheaper than Bricklink plus paypal.

It is not so good for parts (unless selling as bundles), but for sets it works
really well.

Must be one of those European things since I don’t think I’ve ever even heard
of that offer from eBay

Every time you or someone else on Bricklink bashes or makes fun of eBay, you
are also bashing or making fun of those Bricklink members who also use eBay.

Just my $0.02

Strange that comments about the selling platform specifically reflect on those
who use it without specifically mentioning the people who use it?

If I make fun or poke at facebook (and not its users) and you have a facebook
account is there also a correlation there?

To me it seems like a very strange way to look at the world. I mean unless you
own eBay or facebook then maybe offence would be warranted.

I actually pay about 25% fees on ebay due to promoted listings. I just adjust
my prices accordingly and have no problem with ebay fees. I make an insane amount
of sales on Ebay. Well worth whatever fees they want to charge.

+1 So long as after all fees are said and done and the prices remain higher I’ll
still sell on there
