Ebay & Paypal
Doesn't it equal "double-dipping" when both Ebay AND Paypal charge a seller when (1) an item sells on Ebay, and (2) a seller receives his payment through Paypal? A seller pays to post an item, pays when/if it sells, then has to pay Paypal again when he receives payment through their system...even though it's owned by Ebay.

I'm really considering closing my Ebay accounts because of this AND because they are really making it harder for sellers to lose out on merchandise and money by giving buyers way too much freedom. A person could complain about the minutest of difference in an item description and just about be guaranteed a refund. Some buyers also do credit card charge-backs and the seller has no way of recouping their money OR their merchandise!

I used to enjoy using Ebay, but no more...
