I've not sold on ebay in quite a while but total fees were like 20%. Now you need to collect tax as well. I expect that people pay the tax using paypal. So you pay that fee on the tax as well.
Even feedback has changed. The seller cannot leave negative feedback for a buyer. So the buyer from HELL will have great feedback.

I agree the fees are a little high but not 20% more like 12% and I agree they put shipping in that few percentages.
It has become more of a buyer protection place than seller protection. But you don't have weirdos showing up at your house.
I don't believe eBay uses Paypal anymore they have their internal payment system.
No system is 100% but eBay is safer than FB or Craiglist.
