To those that bitch about eBay fees:

 

 


Why don't you just increase the starting price of your listing to reflect the added fees? Seems pretty obvious.

    because increased price means less demand means less profit

    Unless you're selling items that are in the hundreds of dollars, the amount you'd need to add is minimal, likely borderline unnoticeable.

    since the ebay fees are a percentage, the amount you would add would be proportionally noticeable.

    As far as I am aware, ebay fees are 10% of the final sale price PLUS Shipping, so regardless of the cost of the item, you need to add a bit over 10% to the cost to recoup, and 10% of any item is a noticeable price increase for the consumer

    Correct. But, generally, most things on eBay sell for more than they do on most other platforms anyway. So the cost increase is generally a moot point to begin with.

    I don't typically use ebay for anything, but I used to in college, and the only reason I used it was to find cheaper stuff. Maybe this has changed, but that's my perspective.
