If you sell a book for $15.00 …. Postage in Aust Post satchel … $13.40 … total sale $28.40

.

Epay will charge 9.9% fee on total … $2.80

.

Paypay (owned by epay) will charge … $1.12

.

Total $3.92

.

Which is approx 26% of your sale price ($15.00)

.

So from $28.40 … deduct $13.40 (actual postage cost) … leaves $15

.

From $15.00 deduct $3.92 … leaves $11.08

.

From $11.08 deduct (say) $5.00 that the book cost at the car boot sale … leaves $6.08

.

From $6.08 deduct $0.50 for packaging/tape/etc … leaves $5.58

.

From $5.58 deduct (say) $3.00 for petrol/car costs to go to PO … leaves $2.58

.

From $2.58 deduct miscellaneous costs … electricity/internet/ general … (say) $1.00 … leaves $1.58

.

No even enough for a meat pie and sauce …

.

epay/paypal made more than double than you did !

.

And that has not even taken into account your time and energy !

It is not over until the fat lady posts
