this is all a bunch of whinning. What e-bay and paypal offer is fantasic. Buying an item off eBay with out paypal only help people like DoomMaster.
If you don't want to pay the fees the e-bay charges don't list.
I have had my fair share of "Bad" ebay transaction but with swift help form eBay/paypal my money was refunded. Try that on amibench.
I listen to the issues people have once they step out of the security of eBay think then I thn the fees are O.k.
the internation things is a bit funky.... I agree but it a small price to pay for security.
I have been the buy and the seller... and I agree I hate to pay the e-bay fee but I build it into the price.
