Selling on ebay.

[rjcjr0327]

I will never sell another item on ebay.  I sold two items; one for $200 plus $35 postage which I paid ebay $20 for.

The second item I sold for $225 plus $50 postage which I paid ebay $49+ for.   I netted $169 for the first sale and netted $149 on the second sale.  

And there's no way to get an accounting for this atrocity.

Did you read the fee schedule before you listed?

[heckofagame]

Fees are calculated on the total amount (Item + taxes + shipping).  That fee is usually 12.9% + 30 cents.

Why would you even list anything here without checking the fees first? Sorry, I never understand that.Seems like locking the barn after the horse is gone.

Based on the posts in these forums, there must be a lot of horses running around.

Seller Hub/Payments/Transactions. Tick on 'View' to the right of your order and you'll see the fees. Hang in there. Or not.

Looks like you charged postage on those two items, and your buyers would have paid that.But you are figuring the postage cost as part of your fees? Sorry, Im confused.A lot of creative bookkeeping on this board today.

Which creates a lot of horse manure here on the boards every day.

Same exact posts, all day, every day. Piles get get higher.

Yes, I did. And I believe they took beyond that amount.

Detail where you are coming up with that.

Are you just guessing? Know that the Final Value Fee is on the Total the Buyer Paid (Item + Shipping + Tax). Then, out of the payout, YOU then pay for the shipping since you collected that money from the buyer. 

If 12.9% final value fee (some categories are less, some more- what was the category?) I come up with payout of about $180 (assuming 8% sales tax)
