I just sold Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz for the Wii on Amazon, only to discover that Amazon was taking a 23.5% commission on the sale. Oh how nice of them. I took out the personal information but here is part of the email that they sent me.

Here are the details of your completed Amazon Marketplace sale:

Is it just me or does a $6.50 commission on a $27 dollar sale seem a little outrageous. I am going to sell my stuff on ebay / half.com again even thou Amazon is easier, this is ridiculous.
