Many and very high taxes

Why ebay charges more and very expensive fees I saw that I wasn't making any money from the sales I had to earn, ebay took money from me through taxes that I should have earned and only ebay had to earn the supplier from where we bought the products and the logistics company I remained without profit, the taxes are many and very high on the ebay americonid. and we are left with no additional profit if I sell the 1 st product in 1-2 months, there is no point in selling on ebay and I tried another option to sell

Your message is confusing to me.  It almost seems like you are confusing eBay's final value fees with state sales tax.  These are two separate and distinct things.

eBay's Final Value Fee which is charged to sellers when an item sells is calculated on the amount the item sold for, the shipping cost and the state sales tax, if applicable.

The state sales tax, incidentally, is charged to the buyer, not the seller.  

In addition, eBay's fees are clearly detailed in more than one location for sellers to read.  There is no reason to be surprised by fees.

Well, since you are moving elsewhere, best of luck in your new venture.

You sold something on ebay without knowing what the fees are?

     You are in Moldova and apparently drop shipping out of China which can be a very confusing complex model and is a poor one at that. EBay does not charge "taxes" on sales but they may collect them on behalf of the state or country where the buyer is located. EBay does charge final value fees on the total price of the item sold which may or may not include and "taxes" that they collect from the buyer directly. 

     Regardless of where you go to sell it would benefit you to understand the fee structure as well as any "taxes" that the site may collect in response to laws of the various countries, states, cities, counties.................

You still have items drop shipping from China. 

 

You are in Moldavia, shipping from China. 

Last sale in 6 months looks like, by your response, you canceled and didnt ship...

 

Fees are in the video "understanding seller fees"

Hello and welcome. Sorry to hear of your difficulties.


As a seller, it is one of your main responsibilities to learn the fee structure and rules for selling, ideally before you list your items.

 

By the way, of the three listings you have active right now, two have partial descriptions using a language that is not English, which might adversely affect sales.

Your state charges that sales tax,not the seller and not Ebay. Every internet sale now is charged a sales tax by the state where the item is shipped,its the law.

@dusa987 

I see by your feedback that you are a U.S. buyer, and were charged a sales tax. That has nothing to do with eBay. It is our federal, state and local governments that set the tax structures.

There is clear and thorough documentation about all this. There are no hidden fees. It helps you put what you are selling in the right category. Treat every sale as different and important. Don't sell anything if you are not aware of the fees that will be taken out of your transaction.

@dusa987  If you purchased a coin you are not happy with, go to the "Buying" community board and ask for advice there.
