Neither ebay or Paypal have any control of the price a seller lists an item for so whether or not the seller has included the cost of Paypal fees into the selling price is irrelevant. There is absolutely no requirement from ebay or Paypal to justify how a seller has determined the Selling Price.

From a Taxation point of view Paypal fees can be claimed as a business deduction so technically speaking they are included in the selling price for business sellers.

It isn't important to me how and why some sellers extract as much profit as they can from buyers - I've stated a fact and no one can disprove it however jens explination is the most acceptable.

I don't give a damn about your group pirate.

If things don't improve soon I wont be here in the autumn to worry about my TRS

There are just too many sellers encountering the same problems on eBay and eBay alone  for it not to be an eBay issue.

In 12 years of trading on eBay and other outlets including my own ecommerce shops, I have never experienced anything like the sudden drop in sales that started on here more than six weeks ago now and which have got progressively worse as the weeks have gone by. At the end of yesterday my sales were 80% down on what used to be the norm.

I don't doubt that the bank holiday weekend could have worsened matters for some over the last few days, although my own sales used to increase during these periods.

Prior to the problems I didn't ever have the time to post on here as I was always so busy, working up 16 hours a day sometimes to keep up with demand and was I at the point of taking on staff.

Now, I am left wondering about my own future employment.

Why do you bother? We obviously aren't giving heed to your constant, repetitive, on any thread you can find, 'warnings'.

Why do you?
