https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Business-Seller-Board/eBay-sales-dropped-off-a-cliff/m-p/7832855#M331981 <P>The point I was originally making is that even though yes the fees are presented to the buyer who then pays it, sellers have to deduct this fee from their asking price, meaning that the seller EFFECTIVELY pays it.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I know that on paper, the buyer pays it. But the seller has to take the fee into account when pricing. If an item has a known value of £50, you have to sell it at £47 so that with the fee it equals £50. Therefore the seller effectively pays the fee. It is deducted from the money they would otherwise be paid. If you priced your item at £50, the items total would now be £53.50, which wouldnt sell because its higher than the items value. So you must deduct the fee yourself first, which is more or less the same as paying it. Its money that the seller would have gained otherwise.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 17 Apr 2025 16:54:15 GMT theretrodetective 2025-04-17T16:54:15Z
