Fees

[333crystal]

Does eBay charge their fee by combining value of the item AND the shipping we charge the buyer and add them together and charge on the total?

Those 2 items PLUS sales tax paid by the buyer. 

Item $10

Shipping $5

Tax $1

Total is $16.

Fee is based on the $16.

Their fee's are based on the total amount the buyer pays.

Yup, you get charged a % fee on any amount the buyer pays including cost of item, shipping and taxes.

So you can get taxed on it again too, I offered free shipping when I sold and my fees and cost of sales were consistently between 25%-35% which is very high. But it was a competitive area.

They are really getting about 20%! We are really getting screwed!

[333crystal]

What crooks. A percent of the shipping and tax which seller does not get. We get the mo ey for shipping, but have to PAY it to the shipping vendor who ships it!

Yep. Been that way for shipping for about 14 years now. You just noticed?
