If you sell a book for $15.00 โฆ. Postage in Aust Post satchel โฆ $13.40 โฆ total sale $28.40
.
Epay will charge 9.9% fee on total โฆ $2.80
.
Paypay (owned by epay) will charge โฆ $1.12
.
Total $3.92
.
Which is approx 26% of your sale price ($15.00)
.
So from $28.40 โฆ deduct $13.40 (actual postage cost) โฆ leaves $15
.
From $15.00 deduct $3.92 โฆ leaves $11.08
.
From $11.08 deduct (say) $5.00 that the book cost at the car boot sale โฆ leaves $6.08
.
From $6.08 deduct $0.50 for packaging/tape/etc โฆ leaves $5.58
.
From $5.58 deduct (say) $3.00 for petrol/car costs to go to PO โฆ leaves $2.58
.
From $2.58 deduct miscellaneous costs โฆ electricity/internet/ general โฆ (say) $1.00 โฆ leaves $1.58
.
No even enough for a meat pie and sauce โฆ
.
epay/paypal made more than double than you did !
.
And that has not even taken into account your time and energy !
