Why do ebay cream money off for a service they don't provide (postage) and is this legitimate? Sellers advertising a legitimate postage cost, on top of the value of an item, are left out of pocket due to a 'final value fee on postage'. I understand the significant profits made on the value of items that supports the ebay that we have clearly all created but I do not understand how this can be justified for postage costs or how this can possibly encourage fair pricing. Lesson learned for me - ebay will be my last choice for buying and I'll never sell on here again. Can non-legitmate or disproportionate costs be recovered?
When this was introduced over 4 years ago there was a big outcry about it, and many sellers who claimed to be top dollar lawyers or have access to top dollar lawyers/Watchdog show producers/journalists were going to stop it because they decided it was illegal.
Years later we're still stuck with it so clearly it's not illegal.
