Shipping Charges

[casc1439_oxpsifv]

I recently sold an item,  the buyer was charged and paid $78.48 more than the cost of the item (I assume for shipping?).  When I was invoiced by ebay the line item amount for shipping  was  $53.68.  I was also charged additional listing fees, total sale fees, etc.  That is fine, I'm specifically confused about the difference between the $78.48 in additional fees for the buyer and the $53.68 for the actual shipping costs I'm being charged.  Where did the $24.80 go??

Thanks!

Those prices don't show up anywhere on the current USPS pricing charts. What service did you show in your listing, and what did you actually purchase?

Are you sure that the $24.80 extra wasn't tax? Some states charge tax on item price and on the shipping cost as well. That would still be a pretty high tax rate though

The listing states FedEx.

According to the information shown on eBay, you sold an item for $100 plus $42.05 shipping.

The buyer would have paid you $142.05.  The 10% final value fee on that would have been $14.21.

Paypal charges you, the seller, 2.9% plus 30 cents to process payment.  Rounding that off for easier math, that amount would have bee about $4.27.  I don't know if your buyer paid state sales tax or not.

As you can see, my figures are quite far away from what you state you're being invoiced.

Either return and do a screen shot of the invoice or contact eBay about this.

The listing has calculated shipping, apparently the buyer lives in a different shipping zone than you.
