Default why you should not use ebay or paypal

first, ebay chargers you to list, $.25 to $2.50,,, then charges charges you when you sell the idem 9%
I just sold some o-rings that cost me, $2.49 for 8 or them I put two on ebay for $.99,, ebay took 9% that left $.90 for me,,, the o-rings sold for $.99,,pay pal took their 1/3 $.33 postage $.42 so to me i got a total of $.15 fifteen cents,,, oh forgot it cost $.25 to list it i guess i paid 10 to sell my two o-rings. , they got $.67 Post office got 42 out of my pocket i paid $1.09 + the cost of the 0-Ring,,,no wonder this economy is killing people,


here is the paypal Total amount:
$0.99 USD Fee amount:
-$0.33 USD Net amount:
$0.66 USD



here is the e bay final fee when an item is sold.

The Standard Final Value Fee rate for Auction-style listings stays at 9% and is now applied to the total amount of the sale—including shipping—with a maximum Final Value Fee of $100.
