    Do all sellers add the fees onto the price of postage. I’ve just had a seller argue with me

    Is that even legal Ebay makes money on Au post back plus they set the charging costs and after fees we are short on postage costs and if we charge buyer more using flat rate they complain

    I complained to ebay and they jystifued saying sellers charge more for postage than item cost to avoid fees but since ebay now have control over Au post charges they should remove that fee and limit postage overcharge by seller but they wont do that as they make money out of blue and no one is chasing them

    Its time to move to Etsy or Amazon where fees are half what ebay charge

    They wont change that unless ATO or ASIC chase them or they start losing sellers due to high fees

    Unfortunately there is no similar site like ebay for long time to raise competition till that happen we have to cope with it

    I was thinking opening such bussines lol but no funds

    I thought Elon Mask would do that when Pay pal abd Ebay split but he went in totaly different direction

    At least we have to be happy sales are not vad on Ebay and no scammers or time wasters like in marketplace or gumtree which is also owned by Ebay

    Coorporations cant fight them

    Cheers

    Besides this being a 4 year old thread, and the world is a changed place.    It is up to the seller what they charge,   and Ebay where and how they charge the fee's.  All legal,  but if you like I have a direct line to Judge Judy.
