I would imagine this has already been discussed elsewhere on here. I have been outraged since ebay started charging us for shipping fees but what I’ve been to busy to realise is that not only are they charging us a percentage of the shipping cost which goes on our monthly bill, but then when the money gets transferred into PayPal from the buyer, PayPal also charges us a percentage of that shipping fee.

Since PayPal is owned by eBay essentially they are charging us twice on one amount of money. There is no way that can be legal. If they want to charge us a percentage of the cost of shipping then shouldn't they take that percentage off the amount that the buyer pays before it gets put into paypal? Then when PayPal charges us its fee it's only based on a percentage of our profit and not charging us for a percentage of the $7.20 or whatever postage cost that eBay has already charged us for. 

This is totally outrageous. I am not very knowledgeable of legal issues but even I can imagine that this system would have to be considered illegal. They seem to have created the process exactly this way so they can charge us a percentage twice on the same amount of money.
