I just sold a camera a month ago for $3000 plus $85 shipping. PayPal took $85 and e-bay took $300 Leaving me with $2700. No wonder it's more expensive to buy on e-bay than it is on Amazon. People have to factor in e-bays charges and paypals ? I don't see e-bay lasting too much longer at this rate.

I went to eBay a few years ago and was shocked at how it had changed. Prices were high and shipping was outrageous. I had to fight for a refund and eBay refused but PayPal sided with me.
Occasionally I’ll peruse the site but rarely buy. Last item was $4.25 for a wrist wallet. Zipper broke on first use so I requested a refund. Sure, if I pay $6.45 to return it to China. Seller was obligated to pay shipping and refused. PayPal again resolved it; full refund and return not required.
Seller advertised it in NY but it was in China.
But eBay took 10% of your camera sale? I thought it was 3% or lower. Amazon has the funds to be a serious competitor. I’m surprised they don’t focus more on auctions.
