what makes me laugh is, they makes you offer pay pal, so they can charge you for using it,
yet they're both the same company :@

Cunts they are, probably worded so you miss the point of how much they charge you.

Although the fees sound high. For what you are getting it's actually not bad. Try make a website. Drive millions of potential buyers to it every week and you will soon realise it's not actually that bad.
I do agree for 1 item now and again it's a fair chunk. But from a business point of view it's fairly reasonable.

any auction you go to tho chargs you fees, normally around 20% ebay is not that much but at the end of the day its still an auction so why should it be any different?

Should just be one upfront fee to auction/sell item, not fee to list and then another fee upon sale.
