I think selling on ebay and having Paypal for 8% (approximately, depending on sales price) total sales fee is a bargain. If you were to operate a brick and mortar store just paying rent, insurance, employees, fica tax, power bill, advertising etc is going to be much more than 8%. Even with a store credit card fees are still going to be 3% or more. Some people complain about having to pay ebay and then paypal but the services provided are not the same and paypal isn't exactly taking credit card payments at no expense to them.
