sold three items @ different times for same price. fee totals were all different? why

[darhost_84]

wen through completed listings for past year. noticed two items (one i had multiples of ((2)) all sold for the same price (gross $). shipping was the same on all three.  However, fees for all three were different. Thus all three final/net prices were different   WHY?

Probably your buyers lived in different locations with different sales tax rates, which would make their total payments different. The final value fee is a percent of their total payment, so that would change if the sales tax payment amounts were different.

You aren't providing a lot of detail, but if the differences are relatively minor, I'd guess it was due to sales tax differences....if you sold to three different states, they could each have a different sales tax percentage. Since ebay's FVF is based on the TOTAL paid by the buyer---item price, shipping and sales tax---that could account for it.
