It used to be a stepped down % based on the sale price of an item. For example they would take approximately 8% of the first 25 bucks, 6.5% from 25 to 50 bucks and 4.5% above that.
They got rid of that and now get a full cut of the entire pie, essentially more then doubling what their prior fees were on anything worth a bit of coin. Plus they get a full cut out of the S&H charges.
Auction %'s also used to be a little lower then "Buy It Now" %'s. That is also no longer the case.
You can save a little bit of money if you sell at a certain level, and keep on top of various criteria Ebay establishes for sellers, but that is also getting harder and harder to keep up with.
