Ridiculous charges!

Since Ebay have pushed paypal out I've just sold an item for £6.75.

Amount paid into my bank £5.59.

So, I've lost 17% of the sale.

**bleep**

item sold £4+£2.25 p&p

Old System:
Paypal fee (2.9%) 20p+30p=50p
eBay Fee (10%) 40p+28p=68p total deduction £1.18

Managed Payments: 12.8%(86p)+30p=£1.16

So you're actually better off with new system but don't let facts get in the way.

and no I don't work for eBay either.

I think you will find that it's not much different from eBay and PayPal's combined fees, when they were charged separately.

I don't know why eBay's fees should be shock-horror to you. They're clearly explained: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/fees-private-sellers?id=4364&st=12&pos=1&q...

It's quite surprising that I've had three immediate reply messages from 3 sellers who have nothing for sale.

Work for Ebay do you?

You are being very rude to members who give their time freely. Non one on here works for ebay. Just shows how much you understand. Most of us have more than one account one of which we use for the member to member thread.

[hillyso16]

Sure you do.

Is the 30p which knocks up the percentage on low value Items. You pay 12.8% Fee plus 30 pence.

[pixiesen2012]

work out how much you would have paid in fees if you were still being paid through paypal and you will realise you are paying virtually the same,

before you were charged 10% by ebay and 2.9% plus 30p by paypal

you are now charged 12.8% plus 30p by ebay and don't pay anything to paypal,

so you have saved 0.1%

Did they give you a big desk at Ebay?

You've nothing up for sale!

this is a posting account, and no I don't work for ebay, people who don't like the answer they are given always start accusing the responders of working for ebay, instead of attacking us why don't you just admit you made a mistake?

[hillyso16]

I bet you're sitting at an Ebay desk!

nope, sitting at my own desk looking at my selling account that has over 1000 items listed and a feedback score of 61,583, attacking people when you don't like an answer is pretty childish, have you done the sums yet?

[hillyso16]

You're very aggressive.

Enjoy your success....

At Ebay.

Did you never notice that paypal deducted their fee? The new system probably means you are paying a 1p or so less IN TOTAL.

[hillyso16]

Do you work for Ebay?

Typical response from someone who doesn't like the fact that they made themselves look a bit silly on a forum.

[hillyso16]

I don't mind looking a bit silly, it's part of life. Just dont like people who are aggressive and rude just because I dont agree with them.

Simple really.

Please feel free to not reply.
