It's bullshit, they take 10%+ when you sell something that is a couple hundred dolars like wtf. I sold two things in like a week and a half and what do you know I get a $5 cupon but al in al they have charged me like $40 for selling $300 and shipping turns out to be like $35 all together so its shitty.

I am supposed to pay an invoice but what If I just drain my paypal and shut down my ebay account?

It's like they are taking away an eighth from me and that money would have been well spent at the dispensary. I am a patient and need funds sufficient to get a sufficient amount of high grade medication. Maybe I will just stick to craigslist because you can also sell bud on there.

YOU signed up. YOU read the details of sales fees (or not, if you're lazy / stupid). Ebay gives you good security which means you are very unlikely to get scammed. Ebay also offers you a place to even sell your goods.

Now stop making your senseless problems public.

This is an okay idea, but it would actually work better if you just got a ski mask and robbed a few gas stations. Then you would have more than enough money to cover the ebay fees, and could spend the rest of it buying a clue. Problem solved!

pay-pal offers more than enough securtiy and is actually super safe to use unless you are retarded and send out donations to the sellers. They try to get you to pay for ebay shipping with and ebay stamp and all that bullshit and it costs so much more than just going to the damn post office paying a few bucks to get a tracking number then entering the tracking number into the ebay account works just as well. My shipping was $14 less when I took it to the post office.

All these little fees add up $14 here, a $30 invoice there. Thats $44. Basically ebay takes away 12% of my sales for sitting on their ass taking my money that would be generously used at the local dispensary.
