eBay secretly over charged sellers

I sold my AVR on eBay for exactly $550 local pick up
ebay took $73.47 got $476.53 how that happened if they’re charging 12.55 % fees ? It was free to listed 
Customer service was able to explain to me exactly what is going on 
I buy and sell on eBay since 2010 and after PayPal got separated eBay becomes greedy and over charge sellers 
thanks goodness now we have more options

I’ve pretty much quit selling on eBay. Fees are ridiculous. Check that they didn’t charge you for shipping, even though it was local deal.

EBay has always been charging sellers 10% + 3% for PayPal. That's $13% off what the seller gets! Capitalism triumphant! Plus the buyer has to now pay state sales tax! Here in Florida that's 7%. I'm going to sell on US Audio Mart.

EBay does have a larger viewership than any of the other sites! I am surprised you were unaware of EBay's fee policy!

Why would you not list on Audiogon? You do a lot of posting here. I guess you want a free ride!!
