Yes. I still don't know what is going on with shipping. I weigh item and use correct box size, but I think something is off with my shipping. I want the buyers to only pay what shipping actually costs me. I buy shipping label through eBay once it knows where buyer is located, but I'm still not sure shipping is correct. Am I doing something wrong?
The difficulty is determining "what shipping actually cost me". While eBay provides the ability to pass the discounted shipping rates along to the buyers due to the fact that eBay charges FVF's on the shipping the buyer pays and about 1/2 of the states charge sales tax on shipping those additional costs are difficult to determine since you don't know in advance where the package is shipping to. If you are using calculated shipping and passing the discounted rates onto your buyers then what the buyer pays for the label and what the label costs you to purchase should be the same.
As an example if you sold an item using calculated shipping that shipped to a state with 8% sales tax that was applied to shipping. Lets say the buyer paid $11.83 for the shipping label and the label cost you $11.83 to purchase. Net effect is $0. However, the buyer paid $.94 is sales tax on the shipping cost. Add that to the $11.83 the label costs and you get $12.77. EBay is going to charge you 13.25% on that $12.77 or about $1.70 an amount you did not recover from the buyer and this does not include the cost of the box and packing material.
Check your seller settings and see if you are passing the discounted rates along to your buyers and if you are you may want to rethink that. You can always issue a partial refund once you know what the total shipping cost was.
