I’ve been selling PicoKeyer and ID-O-Matic kits on eBay for several years now, with generally good results. They’ve sold fairly well, though to be perfectly honest I have no idea why. It costs more, because I’ve got to cover the eBay listing fees and final value fees. But, for whatever reason, I’ve had a lot of people buy from eBay auctions rather than ordering directly from the web site.
On March 30, eBay is once again raising its fees. I’m done — I won’t be listing any more kits on eBay. It’s gone far enough, and I’m not willing to be a part of making people pay more than they need to for kits. It’s bad enough that they pretty much killed off any payment methods other than their own PayPal, but now the fees have just gotten out of hand.
