Sounds about right.

$US930 is about $A1200. eBay charge 9.9%, Paypal 3.6% plus conversion fees.

Good luck selling OS using bank deposit...

Good on ya mate...they squeeze us more and more,just because they dont have competition...they are a bully... paypal is a scam.. but try and sell on ebay without them! from 2 unpaid cases in 4 years,to 31!! unpaid case opened in less then 4 months... check out "facebook ireland" scam on paypal forum itself!! people being stinged for hundreds of dollars!! and its going on for 2 years!!

Did you not know what the fees were before you went to the trouble of selling?

If you did know, why didnt you either a) not sell here or, b) take those fees into account?

Not being sarcastic, just wondering why people do this...

When you go to the New Car Dealership to Buy your New Car, have not you already done your maths ?  and you know how many $'s you are spending, or how much the credit is going to cost you ?  WHY SHOULD EBAY/PAYPAL BE ANY DIFFERENT ?????

no actually i didn't ivé been a member of ebay since 2000  and just an occasional seller of antique weaponry  ebay used to be fair and reasonably priced, the last items i sold  sellers  could get around paypals conversion rippoffs not these days but thats not the point i'm making the point is ebay/paypal has out priced itself as far as i'm concerned  and after this sting of  over %20 in charges i won't be selling anything on it

[creekman51]

ummmm because you don't know what price your going to get and ummm because you dont know what the postage cost (that ebay taxes you on) is going to cost and ummm fluctuating $ ect,ect

Yep, I just stung $153.00 out off a sale of iPhone 8 Plus, I told eBay they can shove their fees and heading I am off to Facebook market, lots of people are sick to death, and their offshore calls which they supposedly “don’t have”to save money, never live chatted to a call centre in my country. They cut corners to save money but rip the customers. Nice one eBay 🖕
