Over 17% commission on final value including postage, no insertion fees, thats a swindle!

Im 85 yrs old & clearing out small items, so that other people can enjoy them.  I sold an item for £6.89 including postage of £2.89.  No insertion fees. Its supposed to be 10% commission.  Why did I get charged £1.18 ie 17.2%??????

you are now on ebays managed payments

so you are charged 12.8% plus 30p, which is less than you were charged previously when you were charged 10% by ebay and 2,9% plus 30p by paypal

the new system means private sellers pay less than before
