Managed payment fees

[patbow01239]

Can anyone explain to me why the fees are so high.

I have just sold an item for 99p, and with the postage comes to £1.89

Ebay has deducted 61p and of cours 18p insertion fee. I am left with 20p

Thanks ebay. This sucks

You dont need to be VAT registered to pay it.

eBay charge VAT on top of all quoted fees for business sellers, whereas for private sellers it is already included in the stated cost.  (VAT inclusive)  Hence for example, private sellers pay 30p transaction fees, we pay 36p

If you were registered then you could claim it back, but like me, you can't.
