[customalarmsandcameras]

Hi , why I'm I paying 20% Ebay fees ? 9.9 selling fees and an additional 9.9 selling fee when my buyers decide upgrade to express post ?

I sold it for $259.99 with free regular shipping , My Final Valve fee was $28.31 But the buyer wanted an upgrade to express shipping so i changed him $13.00 shipping cost . The actual shipping costs of the express shipping was $15.90 , that is an lost of $2.90 straight off the bat .

So this is my question WHY IS EBAY charging me additional 10% $1.42 for my Express shipping , Im not making money out of it , so should EBAY ?????????????

My advice is sound......call ebay for your answer if you don't like the ones here.

I don't give a **bleep** how you Wanna put it ! I just don't think that you should or need to pay final value fee on shipping ! 

Ebay only brought in a final Valve fee on shipping because there were some rogue sellers out there that were Breaking the rules !

OP, all you have to do is go to your Seller Account, choose an invoice for which month you would like to view, scroll down the invoice and it will give you a pie chart of your fees as a percentage of sales.

The August invoice won't close until the end of the month, but at the beginning of September you can check back on August.

My fees are vary between 10.5% and 11.5% depending on the month.

I haven't read through every response, but 10% of the sale price and 10% of postage does not make 20%, it makes 10% of the WHOLE transaction.

I doub't many sellers would disagree that eBay charging a fee on postage is not fair given eBay does not do anything with the majority of shipping options to justify a fee.  It has been this way for several years and we all huffed and puffed when it was introduced. Most sellers have reluctantly accepted the fee as part of doing business on eBay. Despite not liking the fee and thinking it unfair, we live with it as we know that eBay remains the only viable on-line selling platform for many of us.  If it not viable for you and you have other options, then more power to you.  I wish you well elsewhere.

Most members that have posted on this thread know each other very well so they know who they are lol.

There is no such thing as being charged 20% for any fees on ebay so if you know that you're an intelligent person then why do you think this?

Ebay is a very scary place so that's why I'm scared.
