Yes, my fees average $1500 a month, some months they have been as low as $700 but then some months they have been as high as $2400. I had a store front before my health got the best of me and it was easier for me to work from home and my overhead costs were never over $550. Yes, I have been blessed to have good selling products but with the way ebay has gotten, not standing by sellers, (even us powersellers), outrageous fees etc. The only reason I do as well as I do and can afford to continue selling on ebay is because what I sell has a markup of between 500% and 600%. In the last couple of years ebay has lost probably half of it's sellers.
