EBay Selling Fees? As Con the fruitier from Comedy Company would say “ I need a bigger truck”
I joined EBay in 1999 so been here a while with thousands of deals but I recently listed a motorcycle service manual on EBay Oz, it sold to a buyer in the USA. I had the size and weight listed correctly at 1.1 Kg, EBay under charged the buyer postage, when I got to the post office the postage was $10 more than eBay had charged. So after I received my payout $60.81 and deduct postage $57.15 I received $3.66 for my sale! The eBay fees are out of control and greedy!
So after I contacted eBay and they refunded me $10 postage as they agreed their Oz postage rates were wrong!
so let’s look at the fees sale price $25 +their postage rate $51.56=76.56x12.18% =9.33 plus .77 international fee + .27 final value fee +$1.04 gst =$11.41 so my $25 sale is reduced to $13.59 that’s minus 45.56%. And if EBay had of charged the correct postage it would be even less!
can somebody please explain how selling on EBay is a good fair deal?

Mentor5 months ago@z50jam This is eBay.com the US site.
I recommend connecting with fellow sellers on the Australia site as your fees are a bit different from ours > https://community.ebay.com.au/
