i checked mine as well, and yes they are way out of whack.. i just go to selling activity, and check my invoice.. all the numbers are correct there. I have no idea what percentage ebay is using on the other page in selling performance. But it isn't correct.. even if they were adding paypal fees, it would still be wrong.. Go figure another piece of useless information..
I know if ebay were my wireless carrier, i would have switched companies already.. ebay really needs to get their ducks in a row, before releasing them into our ponds..

What does it say when you click on the question mark next to selling costs?

Agree, it is nice to be able to see the total selling costs (if they are accurate)
Now I wish they would add 2 more columns.
Item Cost & Shipping Cost. They can keep the Total Sales column, just add the 2 together.
If they did this then the information would actually be helpful and could be used in so many ways. To have Shipping totaled in with the Item Cost still requires a seller to keep track of shipping expenses separately. They have the data there already, I'd find it very helpful and more complete if it was broken down.

While the data is probably reasonably accurate I don't think i would trust it for accounting purposes. I suspect that unexpected events like a return or a cancelled transaction may not be properly accounted for. I do think the data provides a quick way to check on the profitability of different sorts of products and overall profitability.
We all know how all the seemingly small fees can add up to a surprisingly large number when all is said and done. I kind of like having the numbers there to remind me of where the money is spent.
