Jim VBMatt,
Were the Ebay fees a surprise to you, or were they at the rate you had agreed upon beforehand?
Selling anything costs money. (Personally, I find 6% to sell a house ridiculous. It seemed reasonable when my first condo sold for $69,000 in 1985. Seems high on property over a million, but what can you do?)
Ebay, as painful as it is sometimes, is so far superior to anything else that exists, and anything that existed before, that the cost seems reasonable to me. Prior to Ebay, searching for a specific card involved hours of travel and hours of working shows and infrequent success. Now, most things are available more readily.
