Taking fees 12.9% with including sale TAX and shipping cost it is not fair

[nakhtarsyed]

Hello ;

I sold out one item on Ebay when payment is received I got shocked  to receive less  payment from Ebay . The selling fees 12.9 % has deducted  selling from total amount  including tax and shipping cost not from actual selling price of item . The Tax paid amount is not mine it is property of  IRS has to submit  by Ebay  and shipping cost amount also  not mine  has to pay to  courier service company . Due to unfair deduction of Ebay I paid  selling fees 14% to Ebay not 12.9 %  to . Please Ebay management deduct your selling fees from the actual selling price of item not from total amount

Why were you shocked? This has been eBay's fee schedule for a very long time and fees are clearly explained in more than one place.  

What "new management" would that be?

Its robbery. They charge 12.9 % to ME on tax they collect that never passes through my hands. This should be illegal.

I am totally appalled at the deductions from a recent sale. Of the $199.94 sale, my final payout is $128.92.  Outrageous... I will take my business elsewhere!

Exactly right.  In fact, there were even some sellers who openly boasted, in their ads, that they were avoiding the Ebay fees with the postage scam.  Not too bright.

EBay has become too expensive!  And now they want to withhold payment until it has been confirmed received by the buyer.  I think I’m done with eBay…
