This is not a complaint about fees or mean eBay buyers or a bellyache about my plight on earth, just an observation for those who only buy on eBay.

I just sold a $200 item. My shipping cost will probably be around $6-7, my Paypal fee was over $6, and my eBay fees was (guess) $5. Total is about $17. My only charge to the buyer, other than the winning bid, was a $6 shipping charge (meaning I probably charged less than cost for the shipping).

So next time an eBay seller brings up fees, realize they exist and aren't 40 cents.
