Is Ebay still the best place to sell at(even though they take too much of your profit

[starkiller]

Is it the most popular website to sell at, meaning most people go on ebay to buy rare stuff that you sell? I remember selling rare stuff on ebay like 2 years ago, and Ebay pocketed a good chunk of something I sold for 1 grand. I was disappointed because it felt like Ebay thought that they deserved a great chunk of something that wasn't even theirs. I'd understand if they took like 20 bucks. But I remember them taking something like 100-plus bucks from something I sold for 1 grand.

Ebay + Paypal is becoming a joke for selling. I sold my iPhone 3GS on there not to long ago and Paypal took around £10 while ebay charged me £29 for my final value fee.

greedy bastards

For the average novice seller then Yes. I have no idea how much they charge % wise these days though, you really need to sell a lot to make anything of note.

I used to trade computers a lot and ebay/paypal were raping my profit margins so bad I simply had to stop. Their a terrible monopoliser.

www.eBid.net is quite a good alternative it just needs more people to slowly build it up instead of keep going with ebay and growing the problem.

For cars I use autotrader, piston heads, free ads.

Gum Tree, craigslists and such are good, even amazon etc.
