End of the month and I am probably going to look for alternatives to sell on after 20 years selling on ebay.

eBay has moved FAR away from the marketplace for the person selling extra stuff out of their attic that it used to be, that's for sure. Their policy is "screw the seller", because most of their sellers are now large companies that can afford to write off a few thousand dollars here and there. My problem is when their policies catch a small seller who's obviously getting scammed or is a victim of an uninformed buyer, but they don't do anything to help that seller, even with evidence that the buyer is at fault.
Now, I don't know that 10-15% commission is "greedy" per se, given the audience you can reach and the fact that a local consignment auction will charge you anywhere between 30 and 50% of your item's sale price (with some exceptions), but those auctions also do all the work for you to justify that cost.
I'm willing to pay a 10-15% commission IF the buyer is willing to pay shipping; I have the item, you want the item, you pay to get it to you—but SO many buyers aren't willing to pay shipping because of how many big companies sell on eBay now, and that's when you really start to lose as a small seller. Between the commission, payment processing fee (which is bogus and should be paid by the commission), and shipping, your profit on any given item can be easily cut in half; and that's provided you don't get a return request.
I'll grant that 5% back is better than a lot of rewards credit cards, but it isn't enough to entice me to buy when I can now find the same thing 20% cheaper on another marketplace.

If you were going to buy something anyway it's good.. but not to go out of your way.
i understand but you can't really use at the time of purchase probably for next purchase but again this isn't big enough amazon has plenty of deals offers going around all the time. Ebay isn't great on coupon and stuff.

A few years later we'll be saying remember when we didn't have to pay taxes on the items we sold and ebay fees were only 12.55%.
