Started selling on Ebay in 2001. There were NO .30 cent insertion fees and you did not have to pay 12.5% on item price plus gd shipping fees. If I buy an item at a yard sale for $5.00 and charge $10 on Ebay and charge $6.00 to ship it. I have to pay the .30 cents, $2.08 ebay takes,, $1.50 for shipping supplies (boxes are expensive), MY TOTAL PROFIT IS 1.08. YEAH, A WHOLE DOLLAR. Thinking of selling another website.
