It should be closer to 13%. Can you provide the details of the actual numbers?

I'm guessing (hoping?) you are just joking here... I know that's the next totally baseless and illogical 'complaint' right after fees going up is 'omg MP has killed my sales!'

If you were signed up for micropayments on paypal, then yes your fee's have gone up significantly with MP. Wish ebay would enact something similar, but I guess it does make sense to charge a 10% transaction fee for a $3 item and 0.3% for a $100 item.

How?

What was the $100 item on which you were charged 0.3% final value fee?

Not to mention the new Seller Page.

The 0.30 transaction fee is what I'm talking about. It's the same for a $3 item, and a $100 item. Which is why I was saying I wish ebay had a similar micropayment system that paypal has for vendors who sell smaller priced items.

The 30 cents?

[nobody*s_perfect]

The typical PayPal fee is 30 cents plus 2.9%.  But there's also a "micropayments" version PayPal account which charges just 5 cents, plus 5%.  The latter pricing structure saves money on transactions up to about $12.  So  the flat rate portion of the new eBay fee structure costs 25 cents more than the PayPal micropayments flat fee.

  I MISS the PAYPAL OPTION. I do NOT like my bank acct information being used directly and paypal gave extra protections as a third party.  I am seemingly being charged more on international mailing also. IJS, yes many of us are complaining and talking future listings as well.

Managed Payments are ran by Adyen, a well known 3rd party payment processing joint.
