Thoughts on Ebay?

I have a question about Ebay -

About seven or eight years ago, a friend of mine partnered with me and we started doing a dropshipping service thing on ebay. Basically we would list cheap chinese products from other websites onto ebay and then wait until someone bought it. When they bought it from us, we would order it from the website and input their shipping information so they would be sent the product.

I know that the fee structures for ebay have changed quite a lot and that it now costs a little bit more money to list things. I've also heard that ebay lets you list for free at the beginning and probably bumps you pretty high in the rankings so that you get sales right away, then, once you start paying for your listings you notice that the sales don't come as frequently anymore but now you're hooked and you keep trying to sell with poorer results. It just seems unfair if they would manipulate the rankings like that.

Anyways, my question is basically, should I try to start this again? Are the fees too expensive to be worthwhile?
