Did FVF increase for sellers or what ... ?

[chaldo2010]

I recall if I sold something for let's say $19.90, I would be charged approximately $1.90 or so as the FVF.

I just checked in my account summary out of the blue, and noticed an increase in the FVF....sold something for $19.97, FVF charge of $2.21. I barely made any profit since shipping itself cost me $16.03 in PayPal, never mind the packaging and all.

Is this correct?

FVF IS  10% OF SELLING PRICE AS WELL AS 10%OF SHIPPING

I think you don't understand how "Free Shipping ' works.

It's advertising -speak for "shipping price is included in asking price'

Which is cheapest:

$5 item with $10 shipping

$10 item with $5 shipping

$15 item with Free Shipping.

Which would attract the most buyers? Which would get complaints about 'price gouging on shipping?"

If you wanted $19.90 for your item either you use Calculated Shipping to give the customer the cost of shipping to her doorstep $16.03 in this case and she pays $25.93 OR you make the asking price $25.93 (more likey $25.99) and she pays $25.99.

Bonus. When you offer Free Domestic Shipping, you are not charged FVF on international shipping either. And you get an automatic Five Star Rating for Shipping Cost.

Ah, never mind, it is currency showing in Canadian rather than US $. So yes it still sits at 10% FVF.
