If the fees get lowered that would be great, but I will have to wait and see. With some of my last round of Ebay auctions a number of items sold for $20 with like $3 in Ebay/paypal fees. This is too much for Ebay to take IMHO. I won't lie I tend to pad my shipping fees a little. For small items I normally say $6 shipping (when actual cost is ~$5 or so), but in my case I live out in the sticks and have to drive into town to drop off at the post office. I put the fees in the listing so they know what they are paying beforehand. For international bidders they pay actual shipping cost which for even small items is $20+ most of the time. If you don't like it don't bid, simple as that.

For me selling even parts on CL is way easier. They come to me, and no one takes a cut. But, I have had zero luck selling high end vintage parts/bikes on CL. For those Ebay is the only way for me to sell those items.
