I never understood why ebay included the shipping costs (especially now when you buy the shipping labels from ebay) in the calculation of the (in theory) 13% of the price as fees. This seems to be unlawful since ebay is not involved in the shipping i...

I am really fed-up with the "new" (by now, not so) ebay interface that they continue to pitch in. It is far comapct and make me repeat every step to times to come-back to the same screen. It is ridiculous. Why ebay doesn't allow the user to just pick...

I got a threatening e-mail from e-bay, letting me know that I cannot give personnal information to a costumer or I am going to be punished. I am furious, not only because I was just trying to help a costumer, rather than fixing an outside deal, it is...

Ebay is not a payment processor, and it doesn't provide credit for that feeCome on. It is the kind of explanation/excuse ebay is going to give you. Nobody is going to be able to charge 100$ for shipping in a 10$ item. Every seller will do that, if po...

Yes, but you pay them for the shipping label, which is what they sell to you. After that, they charge 13% more on the price of that shipping label. Imagine you go to the post office and you buy a label for 10$, then they charge you a 2$ fee for buyin...

No, you didn't understand it. I am OK with ebay retaining the sales tax.However, Ebay charges 13% of every sale's final price, including the taxes (if taxes are higher, the ebay fee is higher) which have nothing to do with the seller, the buyers pay ...
