Ebay is a bunch of crooks. That is why we started our own online store. Ebay and paypal combined take sometimes over 10% of a sale, you cannot stay in business that way.
You should seriously consider opening an online store. Getting yourself sponsored on google and a couple other search engines, and create some banner ads for some relative sites. Its a great way to generate business. Plus, we only lose 3% - 5% on our online transactions.
Here is my site:
