Hello, I recently opened an account in ebay to sell items. After completing several transctions, I noticed that eBay fees are high enough as they are; but later began to think of why does Paypal charges fees when receiving a payment too. First eBay charges us a listing fee (wich is understandable) then they charges us a commission based on the final price you sold your item (Once again, its undersatandalbe) but when you get to paypal; there is an additional fee for receiving our money. Why does paypal charges the fee, if we have already been charged by ebay; after all they are the same company right? I truly feel that Paypal should not be charging any fees to us; after all it is ebay policy to establish an account with Paypal to complete our transactions. I am really confuse here!!
