Side Notes:

 

- It was very complex today trying to find the clear fee information as to how multiple purchases present individual Managed Payment fees.

 

The fees are clearly set out if you bother to read them. Your accounting skills seem pretty deficient but even you should be able to understand it they way it's presented.

This page shows you a few examples that proves some sellers will benefit from lower fees overall:

- I have direct hardcopy evidence that FVF and Managed Payments are the one and the same, even when the .30c (+.03c GST mind you) are applied. It's not a true and honest representation of what we were led to believe Managed Payments was because it seeks to obfuscate financial payment fees that don't exist, making it look like the actual financial payment fee is no more than .33c. This is not a true and honest representation for built-in financial service fees we should not be paying if we receive payment by cash, direct bank deposit or PayID. eBay are seeking to profit from non-existent financial service fees in these managed payment cases.

 

Ebay has always been upfront about this and hasn't hidden anything.  What you used to pay to paypal is now included as part of your final value fees.  

 

Managed Payments is just the name of the system that collects and disburses the fees.  It's not the name of the fees themselves.

 

 

What rubs more salt into the Managed Payments wound, is the additional loaded/built-in financial services fee % eBay now takes for managing payments (including the fee taken where no third party financial services fee exists, most of that extra money appears to be going off-shore and not used within Australia to support locally based sellers, locally based industries and our Australian governments and the fair go services they provide to all Australians.

 

I have no idea what you're talking about when you say a financial services fee but they're no different to paypal or anyone else collecting a fee for their service of collecting money.  If you're worried about the money going offshore and not being used here, why are you using the site?  You're using it because it suits you to, same as everyone else.
