How Does eBay Calculate the Payment to Me for a Sold Item

I sold an item and the buyer paid the shipping cost.  I bought an eBay label so I also paid the shipping cost.  After deducting the eBay fee shouldn't I net an amount equal to the bid minus the fee?  My label cost should be canceled because the buyer is paying for shipping.  The buyer paid $139 (including shipping cost) and the eBay fee was $19.  eBay told me my net was $113 yet they only sent me $80.  Why??

Ebay must have also deducted the shipping label ($16.88) for the item sold on Jan 6 as well. That should get you from $96 to $80

 

Go to payments click on the relevant payout, should say "payout 123456789" and see the details.

Re: How Does eBay Calculate the Payment to Me for a Sold Item

Are your payouts set up for once a week?  IF so, all cleared incoming payments and all printed shipping labels, if funded with your proceeds, will be deducted from your payout.   I generally have several labels deducted for items sold and not included/cleared in my weekly payout, but I know I will get them the following week after they clear.   You need to look at the line items in your financial summary.

Your item sold for $115 before shipping. So there's no way your net would be $113. Your net is $96. That's after you paid $18.73 in fees (13.5% of the total amount they paid).

 

Making $96 on $115 is exactly what you would expect if they are paying for shipping.

 

Why you only got $80 to your bank account must be because you owed $16 for something else.

Remember, the Payout is not determined "per sale"...there may be other "transactions" within the payout from other "sales"

(in other words, multiple transactions can be included in a payout)

Look here to see why/how the final number was determined.....

Seller Hub | Payouts | eBay

Click the "Payout ID" on the line with the number you are checking....

That's about right Shipping 16 plus 18.73 fees is about 35. 35 and 80 = 115
