EBay has always been charging sellers 10% + 3% for PayPal. That's $13% off what the seller gets! Capitalism triumphant! Plus the buyer has to now pay state sales tax! Here in Florida that's 7%. I'm going to sell on US Audio Mart.
eBay secretly over charged sellers
I sold my AVR on eBay for exactly $550 local pick up
ebay took $73.47 got $476.53 how that happened if they’re charging 12.55 % fees ? It was free to listed
Customer service was able to explain to me exactly what is going on
I buy and sell on eBay since 2010 and after PayPal got separated eBay becomes greedy and over charge sellers
thanks goodness now we have more options

@ jasonbourne52 Why would you not list on Audiogon? You do a lot of posting here. I guess you want a free ride!! |
"EBay has always been charging sellers 10% + 3% for PayPal. That’s $13% off what the seller gets! Capitalism triumphant!" eBay separated from PP a couple of years ago and is now handling what PP did in house. The final value fee (in many categories, not all) is 12.55% + $.30 listing fee per order. In the year before the split with PP, the fee was 3.5%. So that is $550.00 for the sale minus $69.02 FVF + $.30 listing fee for a total of $69.32. $550.00 - $69.32 = $480.68 - $476.53 = $4.15 short. My guess is that the additional amount was a credit card fee, from the buyer or he might have listed it in the wrong category. BTW: I sell tons of stuff, mostly non audio related on eBay and think that what eBay provides in terms of exposure, easy format, ease of shipping and general customer support is a bargain. https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/selling-fees-managed-payments-sellers?id=482... |
I sell a lot of smartphones cloths and electronics that’s why I can’t post here Audiogon after speaking with another eBay representative he told me this : the buyer is going to pay tax on my item so whatever tax applies then they’re going to charge me 12.55% of total amount For me this means they’re misleading us with 12.55% they’re lying why do you have to charge me the money I did not receive? So if the buyer is going to pay $20-$40 more for tax why do you have to charge me as a seller on that money (tax) I’m not going to receive? Doesn’t really make sense If so then we all sellers are paying separate TAX before fees so the BUYERS when you go the details of the transaction all this tax BS is not there only shows fees |
