why I'm I paying 20% Ebay fees ? 9.9 selling fees and an additional 9.9 selling fee when my buyers

[customalarmsandcameras]

Hi , why I'm I paying 20% Ebay fees ? 9.9 selling fees and an additional 9.9 selling fee when my buyers decide upgrade to express post ?

I sold it for $259.99 with free regular shipping , My Final Valve fee was $28.31 But the buyer wanted an upgrade to express shipping so i changed him $13.00 shipping cost . The actual shipping costs of the express shipping was $15.90 , that is an lost of $2.90 straight off the bat .

So this is my question WHY IS EBAY charging me additional 10% $1.42 for my Express shipping , Im not making money out of it , so should EBAY ?????????????

Hi i have asked these people if they think that my  Question is wrong or dumb or just both ! ( as I Admit my question was a bit dumb and worded very badly ) 

Why do they feel the need to answer it ? 

Why do they feel the need to answer with hate ? 

See if it was me and i thought a a question was worng and dumb ! I just would not comment on it

Why not ??? you commented on everything else without being asked ! 

so why don't you answer this ? 

[customalarmsandcameras]

i was told you were pretty close to being a old horse ?  is this not true ? 

[imastawka]

I may nag a little at times.

My advice to you was, if you don't want to accept the answers given here

by members, then call ebay and discuss it with them.

You seemingly haven't asked ebay to clarify.

Why keep the thread going if you don't take the advice?

[customalarmsandcameras]

I feel for you ! 

You must be a very dysfunctional person ! if you can say that with straight face 

I think you have alot of hate 

[collect247]

Show me where I answered with hate?

If you're so sensitive to having the truth told then why do you respond.

I said that ebay don't charge 20% for fees and that's the truth,why is that so hard to believe?

[customalarmsandcameras]

If you think this is Helpful and not hate ! 

I feel for you ! 

Most members that have posted on this thread know each other very well so they know who they are lol.

There is no such thing as being charged 20% for any fees on ebay so if you know that you're an intelligent person then why do you think this?

Ebay is a very scary place so that's why I'm scared.

WHY ???? I CANT HURT YOU !

You have asked a number of times, why people choose to use posting ID,s on the forums. ( or to quote a number of your posts   WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SCARED OF ???? )

Unfortunately the ebay forums, like most other online forums are not entirely safe. There have been instances where sellers have used their regular selling id,s to post comments others dont like. Some small minded people have responded by making " purchases " from the seller with the intent to cause the maximum damage to their accounts as possible. I have had problems with my main store after accidently posting on the forums with the selling account ID once. Sales from the store where my main source of income, so I could not afford to have it tampered with.

Using a posting ID, also allows sellers to give more specific information than they might choose to do if their selling ID was known. My stores sell into a very small and specialised market niche. I dont need new sellers copying my store systems, listings and products and undercutting my selling prices.  Having a posting ID allows me to share sensative information, such as the type of places I source stock, average sell price, profit margins etc. I would never share this information if it allowed others to directly copy my business model.

There are enough regular forum posters who know one or more of my selling id,s and are in a position to call BS. if I post information that is exagerated or untrue.

I dont have a facebook or twitter account. I am happy to share some of my experiences with other ebay members, but I prefer to keep my selling accounts safe and simply like a little bit of privacy.
