Which is more of a rip off to sell... Ebay or Amazon?

Question

I am trying to figure this out now.... Because I've been selling on eBay for the past couple of years and lately I have tried to avoid it. I don't understand the reasoning behind eBay taking out large sums for "invoice" and then after that I get billed from paypal for using their services.

I sold an iphone for 150 on top of 8 bucks not including shipping:

I spent close to 19 bucks on shipping 
Ebay charged me 15 bucks for invoice 
PayPal charged 4

So in the end I only end up making 110 on an iPhone....

Is Amazon any better or should I try and start selling on my own

No one is forcing you to use these sites.  If you know of another way to get your item(s) in front of millions, I suggest you use it.
