Promoted listings and fees

[jdfns68]

I sold a ring $60 and my final payout was $3 because was promoted.Thank you Ebay ,this is not help to sell our items.

Do you have a question?

That would mean you paid 90% in fees.

I highly doubt that.

[jdfns68]

That's true, that's why I'm mentioning it to community  .If it is my mistake ,why Ebay  when we choose the Promoted Listings Standard  stopped writing how much the ad rate corresponds to dollars? So we will know how much the promotion will cost us,and it will be our responsibility how much ad rate we choose.

Shouldn't you be thanking your decision to promote it at 70% ad rate?

[jdfns68]

Ηow do you know I had chosen 70%?

[jdfns68]

What i know for sure is that i won  $ 3 for a $ 90 ring....😞

[bonddm_07]

You said a $60.00  ring in your op.  I think someone isn't giving all the facts.

[jdfns68]

I baught it $90.00 and sold it $60.00  because was  pre owned ,and earned $3

[robxznyc]

Just my educated guess based on your info. If my guess is way off it's because your info is misleading.

If you don't bother to provide complete information you are really wasting everyone's time here. 

Are you surprised your sale produced little earning? Didn't you know you'll need to pay FVF and add fee as well as how they are calculated? You set the price so thank to yourself for the result you decided.

As you can see, many of us are having a hard time understanding that $3.

Can you please return and show us a breakdown of your fees on this transaction?

They can't know (and therefore show) what the total price of promoted listing fee will be since it now depends on the total sale price....the sold price, plus shipping and tax.  It's the same as fvf.......you don't know for sure what that charge will be because of the variables.    To end up with $3 on a $60/90 sale.......you must have CHOSEN a very high % for the promoted fee....... As I think you said..........it's your (our) responsibility to understand the process so we don't end up with surprises like the $3.....
