Resolved! Fee formula for private sellers items over £300
Can anyone do a spreadsheet formula to get the pre-fee price, which includes both the up to £300 at 4% tier, but also the £300 to £4000 at 2% tier? Note the formula should include the top £4000 amount too, so would be something that incorporates 300 ...
