So The Other day I woke up to Find That 5 Of My Items Had Sold With Bids and my Dashboard Shows I made Over 1,000.00 No Body had Paid For Anything Yet But eBay Feel That without Payment The Items have Sold?
The Dashboard Calculates every Nickel In the Transaction, ITEM, Shipping Costs, and the Tax that the Buyer Payed on his end as your Auction Total! Item Hasn't even Been Paid Yet But The Item Is Sold!
So One Item $300.00 Total Was Canceled By The Buyer And That Total Stays On my Dashboard Indefinitely and that has happened twice for this same Item so That's $600.00 being reported to The IRS as My Income!
BUT and it gets better Another Item hasn't been Paid yet after 3 days and Probably Won't but That is also a Sold Item So My PAYOUT ($463.57 was sent to your bank account) Dashboard Says I made Over 1,000.00!
Not Sure What Disneyland They Got This eBay Calculator? Where in this World is Shipping Expense a Value If you Print the Labels in eBay (purchase shipping label) Its an Expense unless we are not Obligated to Ship the Items and keep the Money and The Tax that the Buyer Would Pay had they Paid for the Items goes directly to the Government and is no Value to anyone other than the GOV. That's An auction Value and The Shipping Costs are a Value sometimes More than the Item itself but Your Charged End Of Auction Value On The TOTAL of every Nickel in the Transaction (Very Lucrative) For eBay and the GOV!
So Now that I got a Whooping $463.57 was sent to your bank account at the End Of the Year I will Be RE-Taxed Another $28.26 That I paid Tax to Buy the Items I am Selling! So On My Calibrated Reality Calculator I Made 435.31 But I will Be Taxed On 1,029.00 because eBay Says I made that! Not Mentioning How Much I paid To buy the Items and they are not from a dollar store or thrift store!
One Of the Items I charged $55,00 to Ship but because the Buyer Was in Washington The Actual Shipping For Ground Totaled $76.00 But If we Had an eBay Crystal Ball We would Know How Much to Add For Shipping and know the Location Of the Winning Bidder Before the Auction End While Listing but eBay Says Shipping Is Not an Expense But an Auction Value To Me? If I keep the Money Yes But If I ship NO and I lose Money Sometimes not Knowing Where the Winner Will Be located? So On that Listing I sold A $150 Brand New Motor for $50.00 That I paid 150.00 for But the Auction Total $134.40 and that is What I will Pay Fees On and be Taxed On for a $50 Item So In Reality I made Maybe $35.00 On an Item I paid 150.00 plus tax to Buy! eBay Made Money And The IRS made Money!
If The dashboard 90day totals of Sales Wasn't Some Algorithm Junk That Doesn't Require Payments to be a Sold Item and Recalculated The Shipping After You Print Your Labels and Your Fees are Calculated on The Item end Total that would Legal but this is Criminal. eBay Is Focused On Auto parts that Fit Commercials and The Sales Totals Are Working Great for Them I am Sure being your Charged 3 times as Much in your fees calculating Shipping Expenses as Profit!
Wouldn't You Think Once The Buyer Never Pays and the Auction was Canceled The 90day would Reflect that in the Totals? NO It Stays in there as your Sold PROFIT every nickel of that auction!
Dis-cus-ting methods to Up The Revenue of Profit and Value of eBay! The Tax Is One Thing because we know that's a Mafia but The Sellers are the Ones Made eBay, They Do Everything while eBay Sits Counting Cash.
This Might be Why Millions are Finding Other Methods Of Selling Products On line Like Amazon because they do Everything and No Games! They List, Sell, Ship, Pack. EZ returns not wait and work it out with the seller and in a few weeks eBay Will Step In like MOM & DAD to See who will Pay the Return? Amazon Tape It Up Return It (DONE) FREE
Next Day or Same Day Shipping DONE! Call You Get a Real Person Instantly not Directed to 7 Different Departments and Automated Monkeys and maybe after an Hour or two get a live Person?
I understand Counting Money Is Difficult With All the Shipping Expense Values but WOW!
Come Tax Time See How Much You end Up with After You need to Hire Accountants to Figure all This Out because IRS is Going to Have Your (_!_) in Over Taxation of Some Fictional Calculations of Shipping as Your Income and the Tax the Buyer Paid to the IRS was of Some Value to Me As well?
