#2In the UK, ebay will add 75p plus 4% to private seller prices. Somehow they still describe their service as free to private sellers.

In reality I think the seller will eat this fee by having to reduce the selling price. But your point remains.

I guess their annual profit growth is not enough ;-)
What irritates me the most is the way they are still describing it as free to sellers when in reality sellers will have to eat this fee by reducing their asking price to remain competitive.
