Today I got the message from a US-Seller that eBay US is now charging also a 9% fee (commission) on the SHIPPING COSTS!!!
In several online reports you find the question/statement if eBay is still to recommend for private sellers as the fee’s are increasing constantly. Some even assume that eBay want to get rid of private sellers. What is your opinion?
Here is a link for a tool which calculates your eBay fees (German) provided by www.wortfilter.de
Calculate eBay fee’s
Depending on your auction setup (start price etc.) the DE-Fee’s are between 9% and 28% (including Paypal fees)
It’s a combined effort taking more money from you twice: first by eBay, second time by PayPal (also eBay)…..
