SELLER FEES

[cr251]

WHY IS EBAY CHARGING ME 12.5% OF THE TAXES THEY COLLECT ON THE ITEMS I SELL I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FEES ON THE TAXES THEY COLLECT FOR THE STATE

The same reason we paid Pay Pal fee's on the sales tax.

The fee's are based on the total amount the buyer paid.

A charge for processing the funds just as any "brick and mortar" seller, or online seller is charged by a credit card company for processing the payment on the total amount paid by a buyer including "sales tax".

They processed the money, so they charge you a fee for it, just like all payment processors do.

Some sellers don't know they were paying fees to Pay Pal for the sales tax, but they were.

MAYBE EBAY IS GLAD THEY ARE CHARGING THE SELLS TAX BECUASE THEY ARE MAKING EXTRA MONEY ON THE SAME ITEM SO WE ARE ACTUALLY PAYING 15% NOT 12.5 LIKE THEY STATE

My fees in eBay/MP are basically the same as I would be paying if in eBay/PP, and PP % goes up in August.

Cap locks button is over on the left. You are communicating with other eBay buyers/sellers here. No need to yell at us.

PAYPAL WAS 3% OF THE TOTAL PRICE BUT EBAY IS ADDING THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE TAX AND CHARGING 12.5% SO ON A 1000 DOLLAR BASEBALL CARD I SELL IN CALIFORNIA FREE SHIPPING ITS 1080 FOR ROUND NUMBERS 8% SELLS TAX I PAY EBAY 6.40 VERUS 2.40 SO PAYPAL WAS CHEAPER AND BETTER 

[cr251]

AT LEAST PAYPAL WAS 3% OF THE SELLS TAX AND NOT 12.5%

[cr251]

NO ITS NOT THE SAME PAYPAL WAS CHEAPER AND EASIER TO UNDERSTAND EBAY TAKES LONGER AND HARDER TO UNDERSTAND

For a $1,000 item, free shipping, 5% sales tax:

With PayPal

$30.45 = 2.90% PayPal fee
$102.00 = 10.20% eBay Final Value Fee
$0.30 = fixed fee
$132.75 total fees for PayPal and eBay

With Managed Payments

$131.78 = 12.55% Managed Payments FVF
$0.30 = fixed fee
$132.08 total fees for Managed Payments
