What you can do about this is exactly nothing so it kinda stinks. You could use other services but there's not really a place like ebay anymore.
Paypal is shitty though and easy to replace I'd advice everyone to choose another web payment over paypal.
Topic: Ebay/Paypal's ridiculous fees - page 9. (Read 81100 times)
It is not rediculous that ebay and paypal are putting very high fees on their products and that is more that they dont want to lose that much when the price of the bitcoin is dropping you know they are taking bigger risk than you.
They both have ridiculous fees so they kinda stack dont they and then you lose alot of money. Wouldn't it be cheaper to directly use your creditcard instead of linking it to paypal first though
The fees are over the roof indeed. To sell something on ebay takes away so much money right now that it's unbelievable.
And paypal i don't even want to start about how bad of a service paypal is and we still pay this much fees.

Indeed, we cant really avoid these things because we are using their services thats why we have no choice but to consider and pay their high fees which is sometimes frustrating. The best way to avoid these fees is that we wont use their services anymore hence bitcoin is there we could established our own.

I have stopped using both services long ago for this particular reason. I rather pay directly from my debit or creditcard then for it to go trough paypal first and take much more taxes and fees then my creditcard company does. Paypal is a scam which is dressed up in legal papers.
I stopped using ebay but with the service of paypal I am still using it because there are still some payments that I still need to receive through paypal because they are still not knowing that bitcoin is much better than paypal. I keep on telling them that they can save a lot of dollars if they are going to migrate into using bitcoins and forget paypal.
Bitcoin is too far away better than paypal and as you said you could able to save money more on bitcoin because it does have only small amount of transaction fees and also the transfer is also fast. People would surely migrate to bitcoin if they would be aware on the transaction fees compared to paypal.

I sometime use ebay aswell but like you said alot of money goes to their fees which is a bummer but in some way right too since you use their service.
But paypal is the biggest scam, pay fees to transfer money which doesn't cost fees just so they can make money off your wallet.

Paypal provide a service, and if you try to make transactions from one country to another you will pay bigger fees then they charge. Ebay fee is quite big as they just provide a platafform to sell and buy things, they could easy reduce and keep happy, but the thing is both companies must pay taxes to have their business running.

I wasn't aware of this high fees that eBay/PayPal have. This is really high in my opinion, I'm glad that I didn't try this services before.
Everything is expensive today, and everyone just watch how to earn more and more money, that's why they have so high fees. I think all this is good for bitcoin, when people see how much better is to have and use bitcoin, they will quit all this fiat services.
I think they are aware of fact about absence of competition, bitcoin will show them.

You cant fight with company fees actually,the only way to fight it is just leave this company for themselves,dont let them earn money thats all.
I agree with you anyway,these fees are insane,its not fair for us,the customers indeeed...

Indeed the only way to protest against these fees is to not shop there anymore and not use paypals service anymore either.
But that's kinda ridiculous though although I have to agree those fees are incredibly overpriced.
This is the best way to avoid these ridiculous fees of ebay and paypal by leaving them and would not use anymore their services and would not purchase on their sites. They are confident enough to put high fees since they dont have any competition but if bitcoin would be adopted with this kind of industry then for sure ebay and paypal would really have a hard time.

They have ridiculous fees indeed and I wouldn't buy or sell anything there cause they rip 1/5th of what the product is worth which is kinda ridiculous.
We should be able to pay with bitcoin on ebay then it would be more attractive cause we cut the fees in half.

Ebay is ridiculous you pay alot of money to the company itself. The same goes for paypal they take such big cuts it's unbelievable.
I always refuse to use paypal nowadays then I rather use my creditcard directly instead of trough paypal who takes all your money.

Because it is their business to charge their users ridiculous high fees. And the customers that able to complain to their customer service and once you are going to complain to them you can't do anything with it and what they are going to do is that they are going to show you their terms and agreement. So I stopped using paypal already.
You are right no matter how hard you complain to them about their fees they would really show their terms and same as yours i experienced such situation because im one of their complainants regarding with their huge fees. Im thankful now that bitcoin was invented , and no doubt i easily switch.

Well the fees from paypal i do know the ebay i never tryed it because several complaints about those heavy fees they charge, i were expecting openbazar could make those disappear, and i havent joined it yet. I know they are regulated and a big part of the fees will go to the country where the transactions are being made, but its insane to keep using them with such fees, when we have bitcoin almost free.

Both of these parties have ridiculous fees indeed and when you use them both at the same time you lose alot of money if you do it often.
That's why I prefer bitcoin over paypal aswell. Paypal just steals your money via random account freezing and fees.
