I have not sold much on Ebay in several years.

Looks like the seller fees are above 13% now. Is that correct?

Also looks like in addition, they charge over 13% fee based on the shipping cost as well. Is that correct? That makes no sense to me. If I sell a large item and it costs $300 to ship, then ebay charges me over $39 extra. So, I am actually losing money on the shipping.

BAT declined my request to list my Red Racer with no reserve. I discussed it with one of the guys there. He said that even though it was the nicest one they had ever looked at, and the ONLY one with all the paperwork I have, they already have several "in cue" and don't want to flood the market. So, back to square one.

I am not seeing a good reason to use Ebay. Difficult to market nation wide any other way. I think the days of the $7k to $8k Red Racers have passed. Enough have surfaced, that I just don't expect one of those unrealistic numbers.
