Please stop charging fees for small transactions... :(

I am a casual Ebay seller. I'm not some big business selling thousands of products a day. I just sell about 1 or 2 items a week, if that. Most of the things I sell go for about $5-30 and the fees even for small transactions are rediculous. Today I sold an item on Ebay for $3.00 and the shipping was $2.50. When I got the payment of $5.50, PayPal charged me a $0.46 fee to receive the payment. For me, if it wasn't for that $0.30 fee for every single time I get a payment then it wouldn't be so bad. But I really wish PayPal would turn their eyes for just a second from the big business and think about people like me. I am steadily starting to just stop selling things altogether because the fees are just biting at my profit and truthfully, its really not worth it.

 

Please consider doing something PayPal to remedy this. No games, no "special offers." Just make it fair for the little guys and please give us a reasonable system for small transactions.
