    Yey Again Ebay overcharging Sellers and Buyers

    Why is it that ebay are allowed to overcharge sellers and buyers when it comes to international sales.  It seems that not only do ebay believe in adding costs to the seller but they also believe that padded envelopes, bubble wrap etc is all free for the seller to obtain.

     

    In my latest 'bad' experience, ebay are charging my buyer 5 times more than it would cost me to send the item and have took half my profit by charging me a ridiculous amount to post to their centre.

     

    Speaking to a rep who couldn't understand me was difficult and she was ultimately not interested in the fact ebay are profiteering from postage.  I am glad I am moving away from this service.  They serve nobody but themselves.

    Whilst true , that you cannot add any packing charges to eBay's SD postage charges,  just add these , as all sellers are doing,   to the item's price.  Ends up the same ,  postage plus packing charge.... or   item including packing charges .
