My fees for selling a $300.00 item were $71.00 way to much, and I can not contact them only phone???

[cam-guy]

Why can't we email or chat anymore, call who calls anymore, takes forever waiting on line?

There are no explanations as to what the $71.00 fee is for? I only sold one Item and it was $300.00 and the fee was $71.00 they don't explain the fee and you can not really contact them anymore, I think it's time to use some other service, the fees and the shipping involving two extra contacts, PayPal and Shippo?

Every time someone makes a new and improved site it gets worse. 

After 13 years, I feel it's just too expansive to do business.

Does anyone have an email address? The one they give you suport@ebay.ca is not a real address it just bounces back. Even though that's the address on my bill from PayPal.

Dang how is ebay able to use us when we sell our stuff and still they take a huge profit, just got hit with a $36 fee from $300,
Major fee inflators at ebay, last time I use this site. Account deletion after my first sale.
Great Job Ebay on treating the people who use this site.
I only used the site less than 1 month. $36 dollars to use it? shame.

I see you posted this in the PayPal section.

You do not look on PayPal for details about your eBay fees -- you look on eBay.

You can click on Select Invoice to view any eBay invoice for the last 18 months.

I recommend downloading them to your computer for your records (html and CSV formats available).

The itemized list of all fees are on the invoice.

Current charges that are not yet on an invoice can be viewed by clicking on fees.

Thank you I was looking at Ebay and I only see the amount and a discount of .30¢ it does not as you suggest show what the fees are except tax, my point was short of calling them, I can not find out why it's so high, what are these for I only sold one item at $300.00 that's it and the fee seems very high. That is what I am trying to find out. Thanks for your suggestions.

Did you click on Select Invoice (right side)?

[cam-guy · Accepted solution]

Yes, I did it just shows $71.00 and the taxes and a discount of 30 cents or something, there is no break down of why it was $71.00 I guess I will have to break down and call them it's 2017 where is their chat and email contacts.

You went all the way down to the bottom of the invoice to the section called "New fees" ?
Date / Title / Item number / Fee type / Fee Amount

You may need to select "Printer Friendly Version" -- sometimes eBay has display issues.

For your $300 sale you should see a Final Value fee (FVF) of $31.50 (10%+gst)
You should also see an entry for FVF on shipping.


...

Did you have any cancelled sales? Those need to be cancelled properly to recover any fees paid.

I also sold an iPhone for 325.00 in September and got a bill for selling of about $12.00 perhaps that $71.00 was an overlap, but that's what sucks I just see one line item $71.00 and thanks again for your help. I will try your suggestion, I did look at fees, but I did not try to print.

I just looked back and the 2 sales I made for September totalled $625.00 so at 10% and other fees that would add up to $71.00 thank you to everyone who stepped up, it helped me figure it out.
Case closed.

Sounds like you have middle of the month invoicing (which I also have). My last invoice covers from the middle of September to the middle of October.
