Using Paypal
I am quite new to all this buying and selling online. However, i have recently sold a number of things through ebay and payment was received using paypal. On closer examination, I see that some of my money goes as fees to ebay and some goes as fees to paypal. therefore a good wack of my sale price is lost. Is this normal and is there any advice you na offer to reduce this happening

Jump to unread Post a CommentI would agree try here first but I don't get why people get all het up about ebay making money, they are a company, it's what they do, they make money to pay wages, dividends, expenses, outgoings, utilities, rent and yes profit.
Do you really expect them to do it for a couple of quid profit, if you ran a business that made it that big you too would seek to expand your profit before the bubble bursts.
I am fed up with ebay's increased fees and the fact that you can't leave neg feedback to bad buyers I so use it less these days. As well as selling here, there are other options :
Free newspapers - e.g. Friday Ad
Ad in newsagent window - usually about 50p a week
Sell at work ? We have an internal classifieds column online which is great
Ask around - friends / rellies
Supermarket - some like Asda have free notice boards
Note paypal gift is free but you won't be able to use it for ebay items
