Too much fees from Ebay ???

I am very old ebay member since 14 years and I am not very happy with Ebay cuze for the last 14 years never I make money on shipping )0:  Now cuze Ebay charge me 10% fees on shipping fees I am going to be obliged to ask for 20 % more than the shipment charges reality to buyer )0: 

Look for the last months I sell for 387.22$ and Ebay charge me 72.30$ for fees )0:  ( no 10 days fees , no reserve fees only basic fees ) 

Sorry Now I understand why many sellers charge a big money on shipping fees )0:  

 

If I understand good If I have item I sell for only 9.99$ but shipping fees is exactly 42.58$ cuze the box is not small Ebay will take 10% on 9.99$ for auction fees and 10% on  42.58$  for another fees =  1.00$ + 4.25$ = 5.25$ for Ebay   If I charge exactly the shipping fees I will make only 9.99$ - 4.25$ = 5.74$ left for me  ... Sorry but now I am going to make the samething as everybody I am going to make money on the shipping (0:  

 

I know the business going down for Ebay If I compare with the last 10 years ,  Ebay make an error by taking too many fees maybe I will reduce all my auction and sell only item have a bigger value for sell (0: 

 

PS  And I do not talk fees from Paypal (0:

You Are charged a Fee on Total Transaction .. Price + shipping ..

 

You are charged % of the lowest Domestic shipping rate ..

 

Example ...

 

Free Shipping to Canada

$45 shipping to the US

 

Ebay Will charge you % of your lowest domestic rate which means ebay will charge you % of Free when you sold to the uS with $45 shipping as long as your domestic shipping is free ...

 

This change happened like 2 years ago
