Perhaps I'm in the right alternate universe, I'm not experiencing the problem described with either Ebay or Paypal. Most of my sales this year (85%) has been International or my hobby would be at near ebb. My gripe is that domestic shipping, what ever the amount, Ebay is now taking their percentage(3%) and they won't alert or threaten de-listing you item for the amount of shipping you charge to Ebay members(they got you covered).
