Did ebay overcharged me fees on my sale?
Summary: rocketscollectibles raised a concern about a potential overcharge by eBay, mentioning a discrepancy between the advertised fees for selling trading card games and what was actually charged. cogus70 responded by agreeing with the complaint, noting a similar experience, and another participant, reallynicestamps, explained that fees are often calculated on the entire transaction amount, including taxes and shipping. mrdutch1001 pointed out that the original post was outdated, and advised checking current information. kh-phdan then closed the thread due to its age while encouraging participants to start a new thread if they wished to continue the discussion.
Hi there! Just did my first sale on ebay and while checking around i just saw they charged me 12.35% fees ( +taxes... ) such a steal... They don't want a piece of cake they want the cherries eh. Anyway whatever it says 12.35% for toys and hobbies category ( i sold trading cards game ) :
The problem is that after researchs i found that on their fees selling policy, toys and hobbies, and collectible card games are a 5% fees !
And that the 12.35% and rule they charged me for is totally other things :
So is there a mistake on my fees charged or am i missing something?

·1 year agoYou are charged on your customer's full payment, which is the financial industry's Standard Practice for payment processing at least since the introduction of the Diner's Club credit card in the early 1950's.
The Entire Payment includes the selling price+shipping charge+ sales taxes.
Note that you do not pay the sales taxes, your buyer does, but because their payment is simplified into one amount, and that whole amount goes through your Managed Payments account, you pay your 40c service fee + 13.5% (average fee) on the full payment.
You do have your Managed Payments account set up right?
Without your chequing account information and additional ID confirmation *, eBay cannot transfer your customer payments to you after the Hold period is up.
