eBay


I have recently sold some audio equipment on eBay and noticed that eBay charges 13.25% on the sale of the item sold, but they also charge that same % on the sales tax that they collect! 🤔 is this legal? This just seems strange to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

no I guess what I’m trying to say is if I sell something for $300 they could charge me the 13.25% but if the taxes $30 they are also charging 13.25% on that $30 so they are collecting the 13.25% on $330 not the sales price of $300

I just feel that eBay charging me 13.25% on the sale + the tax + the shipping isn’t fair. They should be only charging me the 13.25% on the sale price not the shipping and tax. That’s all I’m saying. They are making more money on the tax and shipping and they shouldn’t be charging me for it. But what do I know! 

Yes, I have talked with eBay and all they say is this is what they charge. No real explanation, other than that.
