I started eBay almost 20 years ago when I was in university. Did it for fun selling small things, people though I was wasting my time but turns out it was great to build up my ratings and be trusted. At the time there weren’t too many fees so I didn’t lose much $$. I don’t sell as often on eBay now because of the huge fees I get hit for selling and PayPal. I only sell on eBay if I know an item is worthy and I will gain a bigger audience and therefore sell at a higher price in the end. Otherwise I’ll go to do Facebook marketplace - but it’s not as trustworthy- so many scams and people trying to bring your prices down rather than bid it up like eBay. So eBay is still a very good platform just a lot of fees - maybe knowing about them helps you plan what to sell. Also there was a time where eBay didn’t have a good reputation for whether people sold fakes or genuine products. I haven’t looked into it recently to know whether that’s changed much at all. But knowing about these help.
