Absolutely my top choice blog post this week, Brews News
Not only is the percentage I pay to eBay and Paypal higher than my Amazon fee percentage (total 15% which includes payment processing fees) but my Average Selling Price (ASP) on eBay is significantly lower than other venues.

Radical and revolutionary common sense from As Was
Between eBay and PayPal/credit card processing fees, someone can easily be losing 12%, 15%, even 18% of their sale price. We even had a client recently tell us her eBay fees were 20-25% of her sale price. This fee is probably most or even all of your entire markup. You can’t have money in your pocket when the costs of doing business leave you with little or no profit (or even a loss).
