    Well there's your problem right there... If you didn't try to get scammed you wouldn't have this problem. :110:

    Honestly, i don't see ebay's fees as that big of an issue. You're more than free to sell stuff elsewhere for free, such as here. But if you want the kind of cash that people on ebay spend, you have to face the music when it comes to the fees.

    Unless things have changed, they should refund the final value fees on the auctions that were scams.

    They deleted mine over $0.25 a few years ago. I tried to pay, but I couldn't get one of the necessary pages to load. Contacted them about it via email several times without reply.

    I Have a different account now, but its almost never used.

    No. I don't bother either. Unless someone finds some uber rare game or dev item.

    If I remeber right, they waive the relisting fee if your item sells the second time. If not, you still have to pay.

    I had some problems getting the one time payment page to load in Firefox, but it worked fine in IE. Maybe that's the problem?

    1. Set auctions to $0.01 = $0.25 cents fee
    2. Make sure all fees are included in handling
    3. Commission is just part of the sales process, plan for them.

    You made $300 each premium, and you're complaining about $40?

    Ebay is ruined by the fact that no one auctions anymore. They all set prices!

    Search for a PC Engine Arcade card pro. ALL set prices, no one lets the item go for market price.

    All prices have become artifical now.

    That was the plan, turns out, 2 days before target was suppose to get the shipment "All Xbox 360's will be delayed umtil after x-mas"

    I dont ever remeber seeing that, the last item I sold, a PS2 about 7 months ago I didn't have to pay for

    And thanks for that scam info yall, thats going to save me alot of money here

    That happened for a reason man, I would tell you but I would get my post edited for some reason

    Can't see what everyone has against eBay tbh. As long as you're not a complete nublet about it you can't really go far wrong.

    This is why you dont sell things you dont have.

    I know why it got edited, and it doesn't matter now since the current bidder on my new listing has bid higher than the starting price of my older listing.

    Shouldn't count your chicks before they hatch...
