Say you sell something for $25 and you charge the buyer $7 for shipping, you’re at $32 for the sale. But then ebay gives you “without giving you the sales tax” let’s just say it’s $3 sales tax. So now you’re at $35 for your sale. But then eBay gets their cut of about 12.5% so they CALCULATE THIS ON THE $35 witch is $4.375. But first eBay takes the $3 for tax that they gave you “without giving you” out so now you’re back down to $32 for the sale. Then eBay deducts the amount that was already calculated from $35 and deduct it out of the $32 so now the fees for your $32 sale was actually calculated at a much higher amount of the $35. Now your at $27.625 then shipping was $6.85 now your at $20.775 then take out the $0.30 final value fee, Now your at $20.475. If you have an ad fee then you can take that out, but just remember that percentage is also calculated at the $35 and not $32. It almost feels like the seller is paying tax as-well on selling an item since we are being charged fees on the tax that we never get from the buyer. The final value fee should only have been $4 not $4.375. U make 10,000 sales a year that’s $3,750 of fees you paid on the taxes paid by the buyer. Please correct me if I’m wrong
