Hate to tell you guys that even though Ebay AND Paypal SUCKS.....it si what it is....they OWN the market with amazon coming in 2nd. All those other places do NOT have the traffic you have on either Ebay or Amazon....members and traffic equals better bids and more money. Sorry it sucks, but I have done ecommerce in one form or another since amazon and Eaby came out.
The only other option really to get good pricing is to make your own online store and promote it....you have to get ranked for the keywords people search for, or have a vast network of clients ect. There are people that SELL on Ebay but have their own online stores...so they end up selling one item to someone and then markets to that person and they end up coming back over and over to their online store. It is not difficult to set up a store...the issue is ranking, especially with Google's changes to their keyword research tool....ie if you are not an adsense customer and buy ads, you don't get to see keywords and rankings of those for free anymore....granted there are other ways to find out the successful KW's.
If you hate them so much and I just don't understand the amount of hatred for them...yes you pay fee....well you pay an auction house 20%+ to sell stuff...I pay about 10% TOTAL on Ebay including Paypal fees....and if you accept credit cards on your site, well you will have similar fees from your CC processor. Again, just sayin'! Go amazon if you have stuff that makes sense to be sold on there, but it is a different ballgame with them.
If you are have questions, hit me up and I will point you in the right directions for online carts....again I have done stuff for 15+ years and have owned and ran stores all the way to a 1 MILLION product store about 10 years ago.
