Being charged fee from ebay

[blondbat]

Hi, I just noticed that I have been charged full price instead of the sale price I had on ( fee for sailing the item). When did they start charging from the original price and not from the item being on sale. No wonder you can't hardly make money on ebay anymore. I feel cheated.  

I have been checking about fees, and I don't see anything about this.

Thank you!

The fee is based on the total payment from the buyer. It is possible that with the large markdown you have on your items, the total with shipping and tax is very similar to the original price of the item.

Got o your payment account and click on the payment. You will see how the fees were calculated.

Which item was this? I don’t see anything with a regular price high enough to be a total of $60.45 in your sold items.

I do see an item that was $69, marked down to $42.  If this is the item, then the fees were based on the sale price + shipping + tax, not the original price.

OK, that is the item I was assuming.

So then the calculation is correct - it is not based on the $69 original price. It is based on the actual from the buyer $40 + shipping + sales tax. The shipping to me is around $17, so $60 sounds like the correct total from the buyer.

If eBay was using the original price, the fee would be based on  $69 + shipping + tax.
