I do a lot of business of eBay and I know exactly what you mean, Sir K. It's becoming less and less attractive to sell items on there. I've done a few hundred transactions in total and I've always been a bit resentful at the large chunk of money eBay takes from each sale you make, not to mention the Paypal surchage. Since Paypal is owned by eBay, they pretty much push it as the only way to pay for auctions, and so they get double-up cash. It's becoming extortion.

Do you or does anyone else know of anywhere else to sell? I'd be willing to look elsewhere if it's more profitable as a seller.
