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

@cr251

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.

Have A Great Day.

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.

Have A Great Day.

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 · ‎07-31-2021

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

cr251 · ‎07-31-2021

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