selling musical instrument

[zzza_44]

instrument sold for $2500. - buyer pays all shipping fees - according to ebay they take around a 6.5% for selliing plus for state sales tax   , which here in MA is about 6.5% - which would be 13% total take - yet they only gave me back $1,985. !? They still owe me around $170.  It`s been over a month - What the hell is going on !?

@zzza_44   Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you received your payout then it's complete.

eBay fees are charged on the item price + shipping + sales tax that is charged by the buyers state.

Fees are 13.6% for Accordions and instruments other than Guitars or Bases.  ( If you sold before the fee change then the fee would have been 13.25%)  

I know that reading the chart can be confusing.
