There is a lot of difference in prices between flipkart and ebay. For example a Philips Notebook speaker costs Rs 1444 and there is no shipping charge. But the same in ebay costs Rs 2000 + Rs 100 for delivery charge. Well, this is one example I provided. There are many like this in the ebay list of items. Well, you need to be more conscious of competititors' price, as public awareness is very high in such aspect where there is a difference of Rs 700/- and indeed it's surprising.

sir flipkart maintains own inventory whereas here sellers maintain the inventory
hence ebay charges some commission which ultimately buyers pay
for example
for what you buy on ebay = ebay's income+sellers income.
now of course tomorrow if ebay maintains own inventory they can beat the price too
but the whole scenario of social shopping will diminish
now see flipkart is no doubt doing good but it has certain limitations
you can find rare item on flipkart example handicrafts,mobile spare parts,computer spare parts.
an ebay buyer knows the real taste of it and makes his own right judgement.
since you seem to be a new buyer i.e not even registered before 1 month
Hence spend some more time window shopping on ebay then you see huge inventory listed from more than 12k active sellers.
and every active seller here is capable of running a micro sites
hence ebay charges some commission which ultimately buyers pay

@sales.india...
Ultimately it is the seller who will lose business to other shopping sites because of higher selling charges on ebay. Customer is out there wanting to buy at the cheapest rates possible and if we cannot provide that to him, he will move on and buy from where he get at the best rates.
Ebay should very quickly think about this situation and decease its seller fees and paispay charges so that we can offer goods to the buyer at competitive rates otherwise we will lose out in the long run.
Also consider that more and more online selling portals are opening everyday and the buyer is getting better rates so what is ebay waiting for, now is the right time to decrease the selling fees and everybody makes more money.

I agree, flipkart started of really well, but now its joined the gang of elite looters, eBay though being the Baap of e-commerce across the globe, has always thrived to maintain low profile but still giving an ultimate experience for both buyers and sellers. EBay Rocks!!!
