e bay fees

[jazzamatazz11]

I remember years ago when Ebay decided to take fees out of the postage costs...After thinking about this, i think Ebay should leave the " actual " postage costs alone.  And just take their fees out of the excess...For example...I sell an item and postage costs $10.95. On my listing i put $12.00 to cover a bit of packing, boxes, posting etc. Therefore, Ebay should only take fees out of $1.05.....I really find this inappropriate.  What are your opinions on this matter..

You're flogging a dead horse.

The question than becomes what is the excess.  You say $1.05.   But for some of my customers it can be $4.00ish.

At the end of the day, they have the best approach, its the total cost they are charging a fee on.   Next you will want them to deduct the wholesale cost of the item as well.   You are selling a product,  the product is made up of the item, the packaging and the postage,  all those have a cost, which part do you include or exclude,  why pick on postage.
