I might be being stupid here as I couldn’t wrap my head around what the agents were telling me on webchat.
basically, I just started my business account, I sold a few items but to just focus on 3:
I sold a ps4 game - which to my understanding should be charged @ 9.9%
I also sold an electrical fan - to my understanding this should be charged @ either 10.9% or 11.9%
and sold a halfords car charger - charged @ 8.9%
however, looking at the fee breakdown, they all show the catorgory they are listed in along with (item price x 10.6667%)
I spent over an hour speaking to someone telling me it’s ’pre Vat’ then told me the catorgories were charged the same, then admitted he was wrong on that, then started saying other pointless reasons, then just told me to refer to the breakdown.
it doesn’t bother me too much at all as they are all being charged the same % so it’s easier for me to calculate my profits on an item. I just need to know if this is right and if so, how?
surely if all 3 are different catorgories, all charged at different value fees, then this should mean the 10.67 should be different for all listings?
on a side note: I’m unsure wether the information I was reading was in date, but it came directly from eBay’s seller fees webpage. The web agent was telling me though that the operating fee is 0.42% or something, yet my breakdown shows it as 0.35.
he also told me the fixed listing price is 30p (which I was under that same assumption myself), however, my fixed fee has only been 25p for every listing. Just really confused on how their webpage figures on sellers fees aren’t matching the breakdown I’m getting?
sorry for the long post. It’s been a long day and wanted to make sure I included all information that may be needed to avoid questions
