I have been on Ebay since 1999 and in the past few years-- fees have become horrible unless:
A. You are a power seller and listing thousands of things at a time
or
B. You have parts that are in High demand off High Demand cars

I believe the first 50 listings per month are free, you only pay if they sell. The last item I sold was for $35.00 including shipping - My final paypal payout was $33.68. I don't do a lot with Ebay (my company has it's own department for that) but from that one example, I'd call it a good deal.
