Issues with listing fees for simple edits.......

[justbrostrading]

Hello! First time poster here.   I hope this is not a repost, but I can't seem to find a clear answer on this topic anywhere. 

I've been selling on eBay for 6.5 months and for 3.5 of those months have had a basic level store subscription. I seemed to be burning through the "free listings" quite quickly before I was informed that edits count as a free listing. Now, I'm a little more careful to proof my listings before posting.

My first question is this: Does the "edit mode" slider to the top right of my Manage Active Listings page (which seems to only allow me to change my custom label cell) count towards my "free listings"?

Secondly, after my "free listings" have been used I am charged listing fees for simple edits. This seems a little out of line to me. Is this normal? Example: I just changed the images of a listing which ends in 2 days and incurred a .23 fee for doing so. It's non-sense.

Also, is there anywhere a breakdown of fees/info re: listings available etc.. can be found? I'm amazed at how convoluted such things are within eBay. We pay them far too much money to have such difficulty using their tools.

Thanks in advance.

Just spotted something in doing a little deeper digging into this issue. If you go over your allotted listings for the month, basic insertion fees(No extras) the charges displayed before hitting complete show either 6 or 23 cents(dot ca). If you check your invoices for those listings it shows 5 or 21 cents. Curious to know why the numbers don't match? Not earth shattering amounts but the data displayed should be accurate.

Sales tax on listing fee -- an estimate using 15% versus an Alberta seller's actual 5% GST rate.

...

The estimate matches for me as a seller since I get hit with HST (13%) on ebay fees.
