What is going on with these fees

[grantlees111]

Hi,

I can not believe the experience I have had selling a couple of tickets on ebay.com.au. Never mind the drama of convincing Ebay that the buyer has received the tickets after the receiver trying to convince them, now I am looking the fees breakdown.

I sold the tickets for $700 and receive Fees of -AU $106.42 and then read this

Amount	AU $700.00
Fees (includes GST)	-AU $106.42
	AU $593.58
Net Proceeds	AU $400.64

Ummm, how does that add up. A AU$700 sale and I receive AU$400 before its travelled through the weird payment system that probably travels around the world.

Ebay can not even deduct their own fees correctly, and have almost taken half the sale in fees.

Im not sure if this is a joke, but will pursue to try and get them to account for this sale. But be warned that selling anything here is dangerous and amateurish at best.

Does anyone have similar experiences?

Cheers,

Grant

Nope, because I take into account the ebay fees and charges and adjust my listings accordingly. I agreed to the fees when I signed up, so knew that selling a $100 item wasn't going to see me get paid $100. If I want $100 for my $100 item, then I add that cost into the listing. I don't list it for $100 then b1tch because ebay took their fees.

your net proceeds should be $593.58

typo??????

[gutterpunkz05]

You are  registered in NZ, no idea what additional international fees  may apply.

Was the listing promoted.

[twyngwyn]

....the tickets were in Victoria

[davewil1964]

If the SELLER is overseas, that's where the fees will be based. ie International sale.

[twyngwyn]

what... an extra $192 odd for possibly not changing address?

[davewil1964]

Who knows?

The question I would ask is was the sale in NZ or AU dollars.

[twyngwyn]

it says AUD in the blurb.....hey....OP where are you?

[gutterpunkz05]

HI twyn.   The seller is registered in NZ,  the tickets were listed as being in Vic, however FB seems to indicate the the tickets were being delivered direct from the original sales source.

From what I can gather,   NZ comes under  eCI   ebay commerce inc,  not  ECA  ebay.com.au.

All too confusing as far  as fees, holds, reserves, currency conversions etc.

The  OP will just have to figure it out.
