It has always been 3 fees- insertion fee, final value fee, and paypal fees if you use it. However, earlier this year they did drastically reduce the insertion fees while upping the % cut at the end that goes to ebay.

I still sell on ebay but I think that is dirty of them to allow people to sell shitloads of stolen goods on ebay while claiming that "all they are is a platform, so they accept no responsibility" but yet demand their cut of every item sold. This is a bit of a different discussion, though.

i did notice the listing fee was rather low. but the final value and paypal cut more than makes up for that heh

This rant is fucking weak.

They are a for-profit business, of course they are gonna charge you more than to just make even on their business.
