fees on postage paid

How is it that ebay gets away with taking fees from the postage amount paid?? 12% fees not good enough, taKE 12% FROM THE POSTAGE AMOUNT WHICH YOU HAVE TO MAKE UP TO PAY THE POSTAGE.

 

eBAY THE SELLER DOESN'T GET THE POSTAGE AMOUNT.

Kindly stop yelling at other members, especially to ‘tell’ eBay something

 

You have been here more than long enough to know the basics

Perhaps it's slipped your mind what GST is...............Goods and Services Tax.

 

Postage is a "Service".

Ebay has been charging commission on invoice totals, since about 2014,  all approved by the ACCC

You've sold a lot in the time this has been extant. You've only just noticed?

 

I'd sack my accountant...

There are numerous ways which this can be done without the seller being out of pocket. For example, have you ever heard of a handling fee?

Not yelling! just capital letters. no, not yelling here

do you sell? add it up, it is fees on the postage amount that the seller pays. if youre stuck on the GST idea, why pay gst on a service?!! postal service.

I'm aware of it. how is it nobody thinks the postage amount should get fees charged on it. The post office wouldn't take less. you're only passing on the postage charge.

Thanks yes, but what happens is everything gets jacked up and buyers pay more, or sales go down, or seller gets less. Doesn't seem sustainable long term.

just a rant about how high ebay fees have got over last 20 years

cheers
