Ebay Can Bite Me

I don't sell a lot on ebay and when I do, I remember why I hate ebay so much.  I recently sold a set of Tennessee football season tickets on ebay for my father.  They sold for $1148.00.  I accepted Paypal (owned by ebay) for the payment of the tickets.  That cost me $34.03.  I just received an invoice from ebay for their services.  Add another $38.63 for their services and now my total amount to sell my tickets on ebay is a whopping $72.71.  Good grief.

You should have sold them for $100 with $1000 in shipping and handling charges. That's what sellers do to get around the ridiculous ebay fees.

I heard that StubHub.com is best for selling tickets. Check it out. I buy all the time form them.
