Re: NEW FVF on postage system A TOTAL MESS

WOW .... Somebody is certainly watching over me then .....

I make it clear in my listings that I will combine postage as long as buyers contact me for an invoice before using checkout.

I have had one buyer pay for items individually & I just reversed the PayPal payments, added the 30c PP fees to additional charges on the invoice & sent it. The difference in cost was still vastly different & the buyer learned a valuable lesson which has earned me his gratitude & hopefully further custom.

ebay charged the shipping FVF on the postage charged on the invoice.

I just transfer funds from PayPal to my ebay account as each transaction is finalised.

I have an indisputable paper trail so if the ebay accounting system fouls up, problem belong them.

More work for ebay maybe .... but that's what they get paid for, isn't it?

I guess my time is more valuable than most, now my use by date has more of less been confirmed.

However, I will still continue to use ebay "own packaging" for now. It will be interesting to see if they support <500gm when the grace period ends. If they don't, AP Click & Send does, so it will just mean that ebay misses out on that turnover .... & that is what this exercise is all about .... being able to report an increase in turnover to Wall St. at the next Qtly Report.
