Final value fee

[jonas347]

I am not sure if anyone has ever had said anything about this but it seems like this is not to our advantage.

On the final value fee, when the 12.9% fee is calculated, the total includes sales, shipping and tax. When that total is subtracted from our money, it does not include the tax money that was included when ebay calculates the fee to get their money.  I just want to understand if this is documented procedure or what?

Well documented.
