12.9% Sales fee Taken out of Shipping Fees Too - is this Legal?

New listing fee for "up until sold" charges sellers 12.9% on total amount of sale including shipping? This is not right; shipping should be a pass-through charge. I just lost $30 on shipping due to this type of fees. How do you feel about that? How do we as seller's upcharge for that? How do we not lose money on shipping? I'm not here to lose money on items I ship out. Im not here to make money on shipping but Im not here to lose money on shipping.

I agree. First, the 12.9 fee percentage is way over reasonable for the service eBay provides. And the entire system and procedure is convoluted in my opinion. Secondly, I don't think it is fair to glom the 12.9 fee from the seller. Take that fee from the buyer. Not fair at all.
