Difference in Proceeds and Received amounts.

Question

Hello,

I'm wondering what is going on and I can't get a straight answer from ebay.

I sold an item for $123.00 plus the shipping fee. After the selling fee and payment fee was deducted, proceeds of $107.65 were reported.

However, when my payout came, it only shows $88.07 Received.

My question is, what happened to the rest of the proceeds. If there were more fees they should be shown and the amount before the deduction shouldn't be reported as proceeds. Also, why should Received be different than Proceeds?

Can anyone explain what ebay is pulling here? Shouldn't this be transparent?
Thank you.

@terfal-52 That sounds frustrating.

Your "available funds" are a running total, so there may be other fees from other listings and sales intermingled. Each payout can cover multiple transactions.

If you click PayOut ID here, it will have a complete breakdown of that Payout:

From your gross sales (Price + Shipping, if any + Sales Tax) eBay will deduct

Sales Tax (remitted to the state)

Shipping labels

Final Value Fees FVF

Insertion fees (if any)

Promoted listing fees (if any)

Store Fees (if any)

etc.

There is a nice video on this page about how to find your fees: https://export.ebay.com/en/fees-and-payments/seller-fees/

Here is a help page where you can learn about selling fees:

All of the deductions should be listed here:
