$10 HANDLING FEE FOR INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE WHY !

[base787]

oK many people ask me why do i chagre $10 for handling fee for international postage,
the answer is simple, ebay charge me 10% for the $46.10, this works out just under $5
put together costom forms which need filling out id check everytime.

I would prefer just to offer postage to Australia only, but then your search rankings go down.

Ebay dont have the right to charge extra fees on postage and handling !

I think you'll find that they do, as it's their site.

As has been discussed several times in the past eBay started to include postage fees because some sellers were minimising paying fees on their sales by selling an item for as little as a dollar and charging postage costs of $25.

I dont have a problem when its 10% on $8.45 for postage around australia
But when sending overseas its a differnt story, just saying thats why i charge $10 extra.
but as it was before i started putting that extra $10 on the postage, i was selling many things overseas

(selling more items to overseas peole, means more money for ebay, by what there doing is hurting there profits)

I seem to remember Harley someone saying on these boards that US sellers only pay that 10% on what would be domestic postage, if that's still the case then Aussie sellers (and possibly others) are being royally shafted by eBay, and US sellers are given an unfair advantage over sellers in other countries.

Yeah that wouldn't surprise me Padi. Don't they get some power seller discount in the US also?
