The Big List Of Online Game Stores
Here are some stores that sell (indie) games.
Most of them don’t state publically how much they take but the standard rate is usually about 20-30%.
However don’t forget that you can always sell your game directly with a payment processor.

I don’t really fancy EA, but…Shouldn’t Origin also be in there? :P
