I run a non eBay business and accept PayPal as payment, for example if someone pays me £60, I end with with £57.76 in my pocket, £2.24 to PayPal.
As my business is virtual, and I'm not posting items etc, I don't mind it all that much, 99% comes from PayPal now, with only 1% opting for bank transfer.
Bitcoin next.
it's 3.73% per transaction, paypal fee is expensive As my business is virtual, and I'm not posting items etc, I don't mind it all that much, 99% comes from PayPal now, with only 1% opting for bank transfer.
Bitcoin next.
even without selling on ebay
but it seems you have many customers that use paypal to buy your digital goods
hope you will use bitcoin for payment options and make your customers get interested in bitcoin
bumping for great justice

It is expensive, that's for sure, you are correct, all my customers use PayPal, that's another reason I have to use them
I will start accepting Bitcoin as payment soon, cheers

Yeah selling on eBay is a complete rip off! For any item you sell, they basically take 15%, rounded up, that's without shipping included. The lowest shipping price you can ship an item for is $1.93 and that's the lighest item possible.
The shipping fees only go up the heavier the item is. Plus you also have to buy the shipping material, tape, pack it all up, drive to the nearest post office, then stand in line for who knows how long, and then drive all the way back home which might be far away.
Protip: if you want to sell on eBay, make sure no one on Craigslist wants it first.

Duetschpire, do you have any fees for sellers other than the escrow fee? Looks very reasonable if so, just curious, I'm glad I found this since I've been looking for a crypto auction site for a while now.
We charge a flat 2.5% fee on sold items. Escrow fee (when escrow is used) gets charged to the buyer on top of the final amount, not to the seller.
Please check our Frequently Asked Questions for more info
Thanks. I didn't realize that the escrow fee was charged to the buyer not the seller, but that makes sense to me. I think I read the Fee System FAQ but somehow didn't see the fee charges FAQ above it. You might consider combining the two into one FAQ, neither of them are that big and it'd make the info a little easier to find in my opinion.

Despite all the douchebaggery of Ebay its relatively safe at least.. But still they get no excuse for their fees
100% agree with you, eBay is safe for buyer. Buyer can play with the seller as he want. If a seller is unlucky and find some scamer, in most of case the seller loosing 3 things; money, goods and reputation (negative feedback)
About fee i don't mind. If i would do google adwords to get customers, the charges would be much higer than the eBay fees...

Both Ebay and PayPal have crazy fees...but that's what you get when you get "on the street" brand awareness. While ebay is ebay...at least there are a few up and comers that offer a bit better rates for money transfers.
It's actually way more in countries outside the U.S. (Europe mostly) that have a different taxation. Ebay has lost their marbles when it comes to fees, but then again the amazon market fees are even higher...
The fees at eBay suck, though they do offer fantastic protection for the buyer. Recently I noticed that they restructured how they charge fees, 10% flat rate, plus 20 x free insertion fees per month. Free auto-relisting. That's what I'm talking about.
Screw paying 40p insertion fee every time you want to try sell an item, only to find out that you need to re-list, again and again making the damn listing pointless.
