Buyer Protection fees are being under calculated. Not that this matters to buyers or sellers.

I have calculated the Buyer Protection fee on a few sales made today, and came up with figures that were a few pence more than 75p plus 4% of the selling price (excluding postage). Am I missing something ?

Ebay seem to charging 72p and 4% at the moment. 

Not sure why.

Currently, the amount that is being added is 4% + 72p (even though it is supposed to be 75p).

No idea why it is 72p and not 75p - but that is why the figures are not right when you try to calculate them or set your prices to take account of the fee.
