First sale under managed payments - 13.5% fee

[jellybirddesigns]

After having managed payments activated for me today, I have had my first sale.

Item price was $68.00 and postage is $9.95. Total $77.95

Ebay now takes all fees upfront, so according to my the new tab under my Seller Hub, the nett balance due to me is $67.42, which I believe works out at 13.5%. I think this works out the same as when Ebay and Paypal took their different precentages separately?

And  Amazon - much higher fees, you get the money in 3-4 weeks or even longer

I just sold a guitar for $1900 and was charged a whopping $262. Am beyond disgusted and after 21 years with eBay am taking all my expensive guitars off the platform, corporate greed has turned them into just another rip off institution with zero customer care or service.

Wow! That is quite a large fee. I would feel the same as you. I don't blame you for feeling this way.

What do you mean WOW.

Working on 13.5% of 1900 = 256.5

About right.

I think that if someone is selling an “expensive” item, expecting to pay very little in fees, then that would mean they are feeling “entitled”.

You can't think of cheaper online auction/selling platforms?   Every one that isn't eBay!

Don't tell me what I should and should not be aware of  - when eBay have moved the goalposts to a place they never were near 20 years ago.  Have a look at the description on the guitars I have left up... mr detective

I understand why you are angry.

Those who don't who don't take 30 seconds to check fees before listing or keep up with eBay announcements often feel the same way.

People like you & others who don't check fees before listing or keep up with eBay announcements often feel the same way.

You naturally have empirical evidence to support that assertion. Please share
