Has anyone else noticed apart from ebay ripping you off with listing, final value and paypal fees, they also short change you for currency rates as well!!

Im really frigging done with ebay!

I looked up the average currency rate for £ to $ and it was 1.49 to the dollar

i paid for an item from the US and got 1.43 to the dollar...so they like to benefit from a little on the currency also, doesnt look much, but combine it 500,000 times per day!!

Trouble is they have cornered the online auction market and until someother big players come in (Google foe example) then we have no choice and are stuck with the robbing barstewards :cry:
