EBay fees are horrendous. I’m starting to sell my records and some of them I could end up paying 100-150 quid in fees. It’s a huge chunk if you sell a fair few high ticket items

Why not start a new thread and auction them as a job lot on here. You don't need to sell unless you are happy with the price, obviously.
