    I concur. You'll get raped twice. Once by ebay and again by paypal.
    However, it's the safest way to go when selling an expensive item.

    You can sorta lessen the hit by shifting as much of your target price onto the shipping fees (w/o getting the excess shipping charges alert). Ebay doesn't get any of your shipping costs.

      Definently, I made some alterations to avoid the fees destroying me, as its up over there now. I keep getting people wanting to negotiate with me, which is fine to a degree, but when they are offering 100-200 below what Im asking then its getting a little absurd. Then I get the people asking if it comes with a power cord even though it clearly states it in the listing, sometimes selling something online can be a major headache.

          Already had that twice. Not that exact scam but the one where they will only pay with a money order, they are too busy to pick it up so their "financier" will pick it up for them and then for some reason they request my cell phone number. Whats even stranger, is they did this through craigslist.com once and my home phone is on there, bunch of idiots. I responded and told them to basically go away, but in not so nice terms. Its frusterating but not much can be done I guess.

            Finally sold it, thank God. 295.00 for it isnt too terrible to get rid of it, and avoided the dreaded Paypal/Ebay fees and avoided having to ship it off. Feels good to have this burden off my shoulders finally. Most probably couldnt care less but figured I would share since I was posting about it previously.

                Congrats man, BTW KDRE, I think he said he already is a Wii owner. I might be wrong though.

                  Yep, already got the Wii and the PS3, this money is to help with bills since Ive been out of work for a little while now. The job market here in Oregon is brutal, Ive done retail for the last 8-9 years, some management experience but yet I cant even get my foot in the door for assistant manager positions unless I have a college degree, sad really. Will go to college for something, but just like when I was younger, I am interested in so many things that I cant pinpoint what I want to do specifically.

                  EDIT- I almost forgot to mention, the same guy that bought my 360 is now selling it on craigs list, he wants a PS3 and is apparently trying to trade up. According to him he has someone willing to trade him a 40GB PS3 for the 360 so more power to him I guess, just funny that its up for sale less then 2 hours after buying it from me, here is the link in case anyone was curious....

                    That's pretty funny although, he is asking way too much for it.

                    You got a pretty fair deal I would say.
