Default What is the general consensus about the way and time Ebay takes their seller's fees?

Right now, sellers on eBay pay their fees monthly. Usually it is directly taken from their PayPal or bank account.

Personally, I would rather have them just take the $.15 or $.35 at a time when the auction is still current.

What is the general consensus on this, are people in general satisfied with eBay taking the sellers' fees monthly?

if they were to take the fees for listing the item then you would still owe when it sold as the selling fee. I sell (675+) feedbacks in 4yrs and it doesnt seem that bad . The do not automatically take it out of your bank or paypal (thats only if your set up that way) i have might set up not to pay anything and when the fees come due on the 1st if not paid by the 15th then they auto take out of paypal if you wish to set it up that way. I usually pay mine about every 2wks so not to feel like paying all at once. Thanks

I agree! I hate it when I feel like I really made money on items then just to turn around and pay a ton that accrued in fees! I wouldn't notice it nearly as much if they did as you said and took it with each sale. I also hate how EBay does not allow sellers to leave negative feedback for buyers. What a rip!! Between the constrantly increasing fees and lack of buyer power, I rarely sell on there anymore. You can send a complaint to EBay. I don't remember how I did it, but go to Live Help and ask or check the site map. It will probably say comments and concerns or questions- something like that. Anyway, hope this helps!
