GOT CHARGED INTERNATIONAL FEE BECAUSE SELLER HAS OUT OF COUNTRY ADDRESS????
I don't sell internationally however when a necklace recently sold I got socked with another fee called "international fee" because ebay says the seller's addreas is in another country. However, the package address was in the U.S. and this isn't one of ebay's portals where they ship overseas, so what is the deal? It's over $5.00 and that plus ebay's fee really hit!

Mentor1 year ago@tonitiger99 I understand how frustrating extra fees are, especially when you have not experienced them before.
This happens when an international buyer uses a package forwarding service. You are only responsible for the item arriving safely to the US address. If the buyer files a not as described return request then you are only required to provide a return shipping label from the US address. Reshipping voids the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
Selling Fees
International fee
If your registered address is in the US and you offer eBay International Shipping for your eligible listings, you won't be charged an international fee when your eligible item sells.
If you're not using eBay International Shipping to ship your item, we charge an international fee if either:
This fee is calculated as 1.65% of the total amount of the sale and is automatically deducted from your sales.

Mentor1 year agoWhen a buyer has a registered address outside of the USA you are charged this fee even if they have the item delivered to a USA address. The fee has to do with the currency exchange handling of the International payment.
