My yearly earnings so far, according to ebay are £100 more than I actually received?

I'm trying to keep under the £1,700 or 30 items selling limit per year. I find in "My eBay" my total earnings so far are £100 out, eBay say my total earnings are £100 higher than I actually got paid. It looks like postage is being included in my earnings. This can't be correct?

If it's postage charged by you on your listings, then it counts as your income, so would be correct.

If you are a genuine private seller getting rid of unwanted personal possessions you have nothing to fear from HMRC.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I a private seller, selling my unwanted items, but I still don’t understand why postage, that is now controlled by eBay, counts as my earnings. The Royal Mail or EVRi get the money not me?

Thanks Gromitlad
