    I ended up paying postage

    My ad clearly said "buyer pays postage" but eBay deducted it from the purchase.

    I'm like the others, wondering what your problem is.

    I was thinking for a moment maybe you forgot to include a postage amount in your ads but that doesn't seem to be the case.

     

    Let's say, for instance, it was the solar light you sold at $38 and postage was $9.27.

     

    The buyer paid ebay $47.27

    That's not all your money. You'll be charged ebay commission fees on it all, mind you,  but that $9.27 is for postage and you're going to have to pay for postage somehow, whether with an ebay label or directly to the post office.

     

    You won't get to collect the entire $38 as profit though, because ebay fees will have been deducted.

    Did the payment from eBay include the postage? Yes.

     

    The postage is included in the payment you receive from eBay. How you pay for postage is up to you.

    I really don't see what the problem is, you paid eBay for the label and the buyer paid you (through eBay) for the postage when they bought the item.
