I am opposed to this blatant money grab by Ebay. In addition to fees, you are even ripped off on exchange rate for international transactions. I have noticed some US sellers are still listing that they won’t accept Paypal because of the compulsion edict, the conflict of interest and other changes that adversely affect sellers.
It will be interesting to see if Ebay kicks them off. I don’t believe Aus ACCC will stand up to them – its toothless against the money power. Enough corporate greed – time to go elsewhere.

I agree … I’ve been using ebay for years and until a year or so ago I was doing ok. I had my own store … lots of sales was doing really well. But with all the fee hikes I have been driven right out of business. If any one is going to use any alternative auction site my I make a suggestion??? Use http://www.onlineauctionexchange.com it has to be one of the best auction sites other than ebay … all basic listings are free and I now have a new online store for .99 a month … I’m doing good again thanks to this new site … we should all do the same.

Well I used to use feebay a lot as a seller, but not any more. The greedy bastards have put fees up once too often, fees, fees and more fees, and now this PayPal only (another fees grabber)
I wont even buy on feebay any more, not interested in even looking.

Time to move to a new auction site.I went to oztion in australia and to my surprise i listed 10 items for free and sold 9 of them.Great to see oztion charges no listing fees and charge a lower final value fee to sellers (not to mention i can offer many payment methods unlike ebay..).Oh,you can put up 3 photos of the selling item FREE.I ALSO FOUND OZTION SITE MUCH EASIER TO NAVIGATE..!!
