It is a bit of a trick by ebay.  

 

To calculate you need to add the $243 plus all the postage costs.

 

Calculate 9.9% of this total (X).

 

Then ebay calculate the % as the (X) you just calculated, against your $243 in sales.  This is why you are getting 17.79%

 

ie:     X/243 x 100

 

On top of this is the Paypal fees...... (which aren't on your invoice)

I think the postage in Australia is very high

For me they represent more than 50% of my total costs.

The postage costs in Australia kill the online sellers.

Ebay fee are high too but it is the postage cost is the main reasson of our problems.

CAN EBAY SELLERS CREATE THEIR OWN DELIVERY COMPANY IN COOPERATION WITH EBAY AND PAYPAL?

this could reduce the press on all sides

Sorry to burst your bubble , while it's free to list and sell ( there are fees for some selective options and if you want a store etc) there are very few buyers there and a lot of sellers who have just 'parked' their items but rarely come in to check on their accounts.

 

Admin there supposedly promised some members via email contact during contact over other issues that things will change in the new year , unfortunately that is the same line that has been sprouted since 2005 .

 

Still , you never know but I certainly wouldn't use it as the only option . Try Facebook Groups or your own facebook business page etc.
