FVF Fairness

[upgradedendmills]

The FVF on sales tax doesn't really have a major effect on my bottom line. The FVF on shipping is an irritant, no more, no less.  However, as a buyer, in all fairness, I have been thinking that shipping costs and taxes I am paying should be included in the calculation of my eBay bucks.

You make a persuasive argument.

I mean that is how my CC works. I get my cash back on the total purchase price, not just the price of the item.

That would have a negative effect on ebay's bottom line.   I don't see it happening as ebay's actions seem to say they are scratching for every last penny.

Most of these onsite promotions and coupons eBay gives are based on the fact they are counting on not everybody to use them.
