Wow. I didn't realize how much that stuff added up. I have been using PayPal to pay for ebay stuff because it is so convenient but I never realized it was costing the sellers so much. I have a few things to sell on ebay if I ever get pictures to go with them. I think I will have to go with the money order/check only option.

I meen that literally. I sold a Western Digital 7200 40 gig drive on Ebay. Listed on Ebay Sold for $109.00 + $10.00s&h -$3.25 Ebay charge -3.75 PayPal Charge for payment -4.00 Shipping -5.00 Drop Ship Charge from suplier -2.00 Credit Card Charge from supplier. That is $101.00 - $100.00 (Cost from supplier) I make a dollar. I need to drop the PayPal charges.
