seller fees

[linfau7]

Why is it that I've sold an item for $200 + $25 shipping and yet Ebay is taking about $31 for fees! this seems ridiculous.

please advise.

When you signed on to managed payments, did you read any of the T&C's, 

13.4%  fee applies to the total invoice amount, + 30c

So about  $31  is correct.

As mentioned, you were advised of the fees up front, before starting to sell

Ridiculous or not, it is what you agreed to

Read the terms and conditions and before you list something, you'll be able to calculate approx what the fees will be on that item.

That way, you can take it into account before you decide on what price to list it at.

The fees are not ridiculous compared to many other sales sites. Marketplace may be free to list, you may prefer that, but it may be harder to get the higher price on your items.
