Given that eBay knows exactly how much we paid to a shipping service, why does eBay charge us a fee on that amount alone? Because they can. If big-tech companies could put everyone in chains and suck their blood out, they would.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it sir. Im a new seller trying to figure out why out of $360 my payout is $250. I knew the answer already, just wanted to see the technical reasons.
We all know the policy is steal from the poor and give to the rich. We still have to eat it regardless if we want to sell on their platform, but we can discuss it all the same. Better than pretending its all for our benefit.

I live in the UK and I'm not a seller as a business, I hadn't even used Ebay in years, I was selling a saxophone and they charged me over £30 that I did not expect, needless to say I will never use Ebay again.
Edit: the item was private property and tax was already paid on it when I purchased it, crazy to think I'm taxed again to sell it on.

So I have a question about sales tax so with sales tax being different in every state how do they figure it for example you can go to new Hampshire and not pay sales tax on anything including computers however massachusetts you don't pay sales tax on clothes while other states clothes are taxable just wondering how people don't get charged unfairly?

Since eBay charges us fees on the sales tax the customer pays, How can I find out what my profit will be prior to listing the item? Different cities have different sale tax.

I've only ever sold a product on ebay once and it cost me about $4 shipping and this was 2-3 months ago. Now as of recently I'm randomly being charged $4.27 out of the blue and little to know explanation is being given to me. I just know that my bank is calling it a "Preauthorized debit" or something with a random users name. I can't even go back and look at my sales history because it's deleted for some reason?

When you say “ 7:04 shipping label” does eBay charge you for the shipping itself and you only attached to the package and send it out?

Ebay is ONE business. They only have to set up quarterly sales tax one time, in 50 states and other applicable places. A computer does the rest from there. One of their accountants pays the fees on 50+ states and territories quarterly. EASY MONEY. What do you have to say to that?

If you think about it. You don’t really get a discount on eBay shipping labels when, in my case, 15% is taken out of the price as a fee.

eBay fees should be price sensitive, 7% on under $5 items like it used to be in the beginning. Also sensitive to the proportion of shipping cost paid to buy eBay labels vs the item price. Supporting small business is all upside.

Has eBay changed the promotion fee like you were talking about?

So which ever state you sell from you the seller collects the sales tax in your state and eBay collects it in all the other states, is that right?

I appreciate your explaining why eBay began charging fees on shipping, but when you do shipping thru the eBay platform and they know exactly what you’re paying for it, why do they still charge fees on postage costs? Because they’re greedy is the only answer I can come up with. And it’s not like they haven’t done a LOT of stuff over the years, particularly since 2008, out of sheer greed.

Poshmark was great to get my feet wet, cuz it says right out, "Sell for $25 & receive $20" But Ebay, it's an unknown equation, I haven't the foggiest idea what it will be. It reminds me of going to Canada & paying with American money and just hoping they gave me the right amount back in Canadian. I just make sure that everything is weighed so that I don't short myself on shipping like I used to. I don't miss those days ! And buy so low that I can loose.

I hate that they do the shipping tax when shipping is already so high & that's why we add it... Those days are long gone where people over charge for shipping, especially with this shipping calculator, just seems scummy af.
