I have to agree with you SlashnBurn, eBay (or "greedBay") fees suck big time. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of transactions, on eBay every week. They have to be making millions/billions! I realize they have expenses to cover and employees to pay, but really! Have you ever tried to contact anyone there for help with anything? It's a joke.
At one time I was an eBay seller, but I quit for the same reason. I was doing ALL the work and getting less of the money for it. And in many cases not making ANY money for an item if I had to relist it! Because they charge you each time you have to relist an item too! I've even stopped looking there to buy things. I'm not supporting them at all any more. They are just to greedy.
Just my 2 cents,

My experiences with E-Bay and PayPal (which is everything but Pally) have also been less than good and I would be just as interested to learn about people's experiences with good and solid alternatives, as well as how one would set those up. Also how one would extract your cash at the end of it.
I use Amazon to sell my used school books. I don't know how appropriate it is to what you are doing but their commission fees are fixed and it costs nothing to list the item. Obviously there is not bidding like there is on ebay so you might miss out on a chance to make a more money and if the item is not listed in their system I'm not sure if you can even sell it. Altogether, my experience selling with Amazon has been good though. I have no suggestions for PayPal replacements though.

Sounds like a good idea. Have not thought about that one before.how has your experience with amazon been... i am new to eselling and although ebay is great... it isn't the avenue appropriate for professional books written by yours truly...... so amazon seems to be a good bet (alongside my own site) -

I've only had good experiences with Amazon. They are really well organized. I don't know about what you are trying to do. But I am sure it will be equally well organized. I just wonder whether the pay will be great though. But still, it will be better than nothing, and you will be able to count on it, as they put their money where their mouthes are.in china ,we rarely use ebay or paypal ,we prefer zhifubao ,which is very popular in China
I always use paypal for my ebay transaction, because I always got refund when I have not received my products, and most of the time I can use my paypal to pay for another site. I am pretty happy to do business with them so far. I will never give out my credit card to another company but paypal.
