This small potatoes, but frankly it makes me angry. I have been a seller for 25 years. When I make a mistake, innocent or not, I get dinged for it. Too many dings in a certain timeframe, and my fees go up. No recourse. I recently sold an item for $7....

I have recently had more than a few instances where I made a counteroffer to a buyer and seller, and neither one acknowledged it. Just venting because it’s so frustrating. If you, as a seller, don’t know how to use the counter offer feature, don’t en...

All of my shipping is charged based on the size and weight of each item. I charge shipping costs. I do this to protect myself, as I have had some problems when providing free shipping when sellers end up buying from Hawaii or even California. I notic...

I am getting crushed on reviews r/t shipping charges. I weigh the item and put in the measurements I notice eBay always charges the buyer a premium-I imagine to peel off additional revenue and give me a handling fee(?). I see others selling that same...

I just sold something via a promoted listing, and eBay took about 27% in fees. Does promoting something really make a difference, or is it just a scam? Seems really excessive. Do they matter, or is it just a money grab from the ignorant, like me?

Thanks for giving me a real response. Usually the sheep on here just side with eBay. The problem with eBay offering first class shipping, based on some research I did, is that the seller still gets dinged because there’s no tracking. Those things see...

Thanks. So unless I do my research and fully get all of this stuff, eBay happily takes my lower promotional fee, letting me think that my money is working for me, meanwhile promote people who are paying more?

Thanks for the response. I really appreciate the time that YOU took to address my issue.

Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about. I had a situation where I printed the shipping cost on the label and the buyer asked the reason for the added amount. I explained that was done by eBay.

Here is an example for you. Many times the spread is much bigger, but this is the first item I clicked on and it happened to apply. When I chose to promote this item, the fee was one thing, now it's different. At times, I've been paying double what...
