eBay secretly over charged sellers

I sold my AVR on eBay for exactly $550 local pick up
ebay took $73.47 got $476.53 how that happened if they’re charging 12.55 % fees ? It was free to listed 
Customer service was able to explain to me exactly what is going on 
I buy and sell on eBay since 2010 and after PayPal got separated eBay becomes greedy and over charge sellers 
thanks goodness now we have more options

eBay are cheap!!

Christies, Sothebys, Bonhams and most other auction houses charge the buyer 25%+ taxes plus another 8%+ taxes to the seller.  Here in Europe the taxes are typically 20% of the charges.

They turn over billions.
