Postage

[ja_45341656]

I see everyone not understanding the shipping part which I get the buyer paid x amount. Ebay took x amount for the label they gave me to print...but I still have to pay postage?! So isn't that a lose situation? The item I have is heavy so it's gonna cost a fortune.

- Buyer pays eBay item cost, shipping, sales tax

- eBay takes fees on the total amount the buyer paid

- eBay takes sales tax and sends it to the buyer's state

- eBay takes balance item cost and shipping (after fees) and sends it to the seller

- Seller takes that $ and buys a shipping label.

Buyer paid YOU (through ebay) for the item plus the shipping cost you charged in the listing. 

From the buyer's payment, ebay takes its fees and you use the shipping portion of the buyer's payment to purchase the shipping label. (When I look at your listing, I'm seeing $105.18 as the shipping price.)

After ebay takes fees, you're left with a balance, from which you use part of the 105.18 that was paid to you in order to purchase the shipping label.

Good luck with shipping that motor for $79. Should have been a pick up only item.
