Yes. Paypal and eBay split back in 2015 IIRC so they could have more flexibility. You will have to put your DOB and bank details into eBay now to sell stuff. You can still buy things using PayPal but you will get asked to authenticate through their phone App, much like your bank does.

Can't remember selling fees percentage a google search would tell you sure its a little over 10% maybe doesn't matter so much on small sales but a big chunk if selling a couple hundred pounds worth
My top tip would be too hold off until there's a 80% off selling fees offer (they do them quite regular probably once a month or so) and if you look in ebay messages you can see and activate that offer when it's on Makes a £500 sale around £10 in fees  |

I've found eblag to be getting quite expensive thesedays to sell. (I prefer on here for LR stuff and have quite a bit of success on FB marketplate)
Example of ebay prices, I sold that Td5 throttle pedal yesterday. had an offer of £50 + £5 P&P, so £55 if my maths is correct. I actually got £47 and some pence paid into my account. so just over 14% in "fees" I has the same with a table I sold, it went for £100, and I got about £84, so 16% fees It's a fair chunk I think. more than it used to be. |

Just had an 80% off sellers fees pop in to the inbox this morning as it happens. And yes it definitely is more expensive for the seller than it used to be  |
