Ebay fess are not high compared to paying rent for the store front. I just renewed my 5 year lease for a 2200SQ/FT downtown storefront at $8700 per month (increasing @3.5% per year) plus my share of real estate taxes. Add utilities, insurance, parking fees, etc.. For me the ebay/paypal fees comes to about 15 percents of the sale item compared to about 30 percent for storefront. The profit margin is also much better in ebay. I can sit in the store all day and have 25-30 potential customers walk in the store oppose to having hundreds of visitors in my ebay store at the same time.
