Gary,
Ebay recently changed their policy and the seller is charged a final value fee on shipping. The only issue is that it penalizes sellers like myself that charge exact shipping. It also makes me think twice about selling Internationally given the fee thereby penalizing them as buyers. I may just gross up my shipping cost to cover it.
I haven't sold in a while. Are you telling me you are charged commission on the SHIPPING? I understand when Ebay went to their policy of showing(posting shipping prices) shipping because of complaints of sellers jacking up shipping prices. There were not commissions on the shipping them. Those of us would just say actual shipping prices will be calculated at the end of auction. Which made sense because to ship to Ohio is much cheaper than San Diego. I usually used San Diego as the ship price because it was the farthest for me to "rough" calculate shipping. Now they want a shipping price and they charge you commission on it? If so just another money grab from Ebay . Gary
