FYI- ebay stopped using paypal to process payments in early 2021... not 8 years ago.
and for some of the other comments, you can still use ebay as a buyer without paypal or giving them a bank account, they accept credit cards for payments, dont even need to set up an ebay account, can buy things as a "guest" which is what my Dad does since hes one that wont give them his bank account info or sign up for paypal.
also, ebay selling fees have been the same for at least 10 years now if not longer, its 10% of the final sale price (including shipping cost & taxes) but now they charge the ~3% fee that paypal used to charged since ebay now handles the payments, so total selling fee is the same ~13% as its been for a long time for most all domestic sales categories, international sales & a couple other categories are a little higher.
all in all its still worth selling & buying there, sellers get more exposure than any other online website, bidding wars or people with more money than brains can drive the price up more than you would have accepted. for buyers there are still good deals to be found or items that arent available anywhere else or almost impossible to find and sellers are happy to ship it to you. wont get that at swap meets or other local places.
