hi all, i recently sold some items on ebay and have noticed they now take a % of the postage amount?

since when was this a thing??? ive never seen ebay take a % of the postage fee which basically im loosing as im paying full price to post with Aus post....i dont print labels or whatever that system is now,  i write my own labels...so why would i be charged a fee for the postage that aus post charges to send the item...I think this isnt right but am I missing something? 

Any help would be great..Thanks

....it's been a 'thing' for years, now. Just build cost into your price

We have those that cheated on the fees to thank for that.

Item cost $1 with $500 postage cost.

So eBay now charge fees on total invoice amount.

I hope you have not had many sales in the last 5yrs or so.  You need to include ebays take when setting postage charges.

October 2014 as far as I can ascertain. Maybe earlier, definitely not later.

You either don't sell much or don't pay any attention to your business.

Doesn't time fly when you are being financially tortured to death.
