Ebay Final Value Fee RIP OFF

[jjee2160]

I sold an item value $3000AUD and they took $430AUD off from me... wow ridiculous. Selling an item costs me over $400. "Listing is free" and then after item sold out, here you go ridiculous hidden fees that you didn't expect. Which plaform in the world would take that much? Greedy. 

At least final value fee should be shown on the page when listing item. 

No more ebay for me.

Please! My "moment" may have had validity, and it's 20 BUX (from the kingdom of Bhavish-Under-Xolah) converted to AUD.

Try selling handmade items in a gallery or craft shop, lucky if the fees are only 35%.

Why ?  Are you another one that couldn't be bothered reading up on the fees they charge for selling ?

[sandypebbles]

So don't use them. Easy enough

They are not going to see your tanty, eBay do not read here no matter how loud you yell

You are aware of the fees before you sell

You are aware of the hold on funds as a new seller

You are aware you listed and sold the same phone twice

So those things aside, what are you yelling about?

Can’t delete, sorry

Yep, it is. I understand the charge for selling an item, but where do they get off also taking a cut in postage or courier which is billed on top of a sale. When I sell a product in my business, I charge for the product which includes my profit, and I then charge at cost the postage- I don’t make anything on that, some charge a packing fee but again not on the postage.

Sad that EBay need to be greedy, and yes it’s our choice to use them but never again for me.

There are numberless threads about this, a lot more recent than this one. And the charge has been in effect for close to 10 years. Why did you wait that long to fruitlessly complain?

It is unlikely anybody reading this (who are unlikely to be eBay) cares whether you continue selling here.

[davewil1964]

You have feedback for 4 sales, 1 in the last year. I'd be more concerned about getting paid.

You don't seem to understand current selling policies, so have you signed up to Managed Payments?
