eBay couldn't make Managed Payments more confusing & more misleading if they tried, | Payments

especially if you're trying to figure out how much you actually got for any particular item you sold and what the REAL percentage was that you paid for the fees. On one hand they tell you that you're being charged a certain percentage for whatever you happen to have sold, but when you do the math, taking into account everything they tell you including sales tax, shipping, etc, the net result just does not match what they are telling you. Why can't eBay just tell us EXACTLY how much we are actually getting for each sale, rather than beating around the bush with all their jargon about "order total", "order earnings", and "net proceeds" that don't match up to the percentage they're supposed to be charging? They don't even have an official eBay fee and profit calculator anymore, at least none that I could find, that tells you what your bottom line net proceeds for any given sale are after pluggin in all the values including sales tax and shipping costs. Even on the "Payout" page where they tell you how much money they have sent to the bank, ya gotta love how they have the "Amount" and the "Net" for each item at a higher price than what the item actually sold for, just so they can get their figures to come out in eBay's favor when they charge you a higher percentage fee than what they tell you in their fees section. Don't get me wrong. I like selling stuff here, but please, eBay, just tell me for each item that I sell exactly how much I am getting for that item after my fees are taken out, instead of beating around the bush with having us look at several different pages of fee calculations you supply us where it's still impossible to tell how much we are actually netting for any particular item.
