Ebay continually upping the percentage of the money they take from the seller is the reason people do things to get around paying them money. Plus Paypal takes a bite out of my money (shipping too) even if the buyer doesn’t use a credit card. They have a ton of little ways to block you from making a dime without them getting a cut, so it becomes like a game. It boils down to the fact that Ebay monopolizes the market, and they know it. They have no incentive to reward the sellers that keep them in business. What do I get for reaching powerseller status. A big fat nothing, other than a logo next to my name in my auctions and a notice that fees are increasing. I made them thousands, how about some free auctions or a discount or something? But I’ll still use them to make money, because there is no alternative auction site yet. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/advice-on-selling-on-ebay/24671)._
