eBay and PayPal Fees1

Well i just sold a wideangle camera lens on eBay for £285. Not bad i thought. Until that is you take away eBays £30 fees and PayPals £11 fees! I think in future if i’m selling higher value stuff i’ll be finding an alternative to ebay. I could have sold it through one of the many camera forums i frequent but i didn’t think at the time (doh!) I don’t know how they justify those fees and i certainly don’t know how paypal do. How does it cost them £11 to transfer £285 from one account to another!? Mind you real life auction rooms are just as bad if not worse. /end rant.
