So don't use them.
eBay charges more like 10% and I still use it, because I think it worth the service they provide.
Here in NZ Trademe (similar to ebay) charge me 8% of sales plus 2% transaction fees.
They have an effective market monopoly and they exploit it.
Lack of a government that will prevent such rentseeking is the problem.
Corporate lobbyists own our governments and enable these monopolistic parasites to extort from all citizens and businesses.
You just passively accept this blatant rentseeking because you think it is normal- it is not it is symptomatic of dysfunctional politics and markets.
The sense of entitlement of these monopolist rentseekers is anabled by prats and cucks like you who accept it as normal.
You have no idea how much damage is being done to our economies by these parasites and apathetic enablers like yourself who accept this criminal amoral behaviour as normal, unavoidable and acceptable.
These online marketplace monopoly/duopolies hold too much market power.
NZs Ebay equivalent called 'Trademe' has banned paying by any means except their inhouse token called 'Ping' or cash which obviously you cannot do except for in person pickup trades.
So all online sales are now via their 'Ping' system where they charge 2% transaction fee.
They are parasitic rentseeking scum imo.
