This relates to me being a private seller of small items under collectables eg Stamps and postcards.Lately I have promoted them with a modicum of success-But what nobody told me was that if I sell an item for £1 say to an oversees buyer the promotion fee is charged against the item plus the postage (£3.70) so the fee to Ebay wipes out the £1 I would have got. So-the question is -Am I alone in thinking this is ridiculous and makes it not worth promoting anything under aprox. £3? I have sold aprox 10 items in 5 days and made hardly any money for the effort put in. Am I looking at this the wrong way-is there a right way? SO Ebay-please review this and charge a fee on just the cost of the promoted item-NOT THE POSTAGE That's my moan done-Thanks
