Agree!  I just sold something and got $388 (included $18 postage fee). EBay has taken $105 in fees!!! 


Hang on,

 

The last item you sold was listed for $420 plus 18 postage,  so 438 total.  But looking at the sale you took a best offer, so less then that.

 

Can you explain how you paid 105 fee's but still manage to get $388,  have I missed something


Yes, they haven't made it crystal clear. I think they may mean they accepted an offer of $370 plus 18  for postage & were charged $105 in fees on the $388?

 

I don't know exactly what fees the sale should have been up for but I do know that ebay fee scales are pretty upfront and easy to find and if I had been selling, I would have worked out the likely fees before I listed something. You can't expect to sell for nothing, except maybe on marketplace, so it is important to know beforehand what you'll be clearing.


I cant find anywhere on Ebay that says a fee for the item they are selling is in the range of 27%,  there is no logic to their claim.
