already deposited my sold listing funds into my bank account
The default for transfers is weekly on Tuesdays.
Almost too efficient this time.
We can change that to daily (useful for busy sellers) or monthly (useful for occasional sellers with low value listings).
I already have my bank and credit card info saved in my account information, so why is it asking me to enter it again?
At a guess, to confirm that you are the person you say you are?
Financial institutions are getting a lot tighter about IDs generally.
Is it not already deducted from the listing sold held fees immediatley?
As I understand it, FVF, including PL fees and charges on shipping, are deducted before we are creditted with our customer payments.
But buying labels is a different action and could happen later, I suppose. And Store subscriptions are a monthly charge unrelated to actual sales.
I agree that the billing is confusing.
...calculated shipping and I create the shipping label with the original listing and correct shipping weight and dimensions, the buyer paid shipping fee is way more than the prices listed to create a shipping label...
We get discounts from Canada Post because eBay has negotiated a deal where we are getting Level 4 (?) prices instead of counter rates.
But some of us don't use eBay labels.
- I use postage stamps which I purchase at a heavy discount.
- Some sellers have accounts with other shippers which give them discounts or perks.
- Some ship through forwarders like chitchat who carry packages across the border and use the cheaper USPS.
Showing the same price from every seller makes for a slightly more even playing field.
While you can make partial refunds, remember your costs of shipping are not just postage, but also packaging, fuel, labour, insurance. Even sellers who forage and recycle packaging materials are spending time to do that . In BC the minimum wage is now 28c a minute.
You can also use Flat Rate Shipping, but when you must use Parcel services, that's not a good idea.
