Blown away on all the fees, Paypal, Postage & Ebay costs just to send a magazine to someone.
Just restarted selling again. After all costs added it added to $6.98 (not including packaging costs) for a magazine weighing 200g !
Just trying to make $1.50-$2 a magazine without excessive costs to buyer to get my product is almost impossible.
Honestly believe Ebay is no longer a viable or cost effective method in selling low cost items. This needs to be addressed by Ebay/Paypal maybe a reduction of fees on items sold under $20 (inclusive of postage). I understand the scam some sellers were doing on hiking postage fees to avoid FVF and see the need on commission on postage. To have to then put $7-$8 postage (cover pakaging costs - travel/envelope/lining) to send a $2 magazine will keep prospective buyers away.
Always send items registered post as required for seller protection. Been scammed ages ago " i didnt get item when sent std postage" wont ever do that again.
Any thoughts?
