New eBay fee method

[413x]

So I recently changed to the new eBay fee (exc PayPal) system and was shocked.

I sold for 270

And 40 pounds of fees were taken

After posting ill be left with 220!

I questioned this.
Vat is now charged!

This was never a thing when I paid by PayPal. I'm sure.

You'd get 10 percent ebay fees.
You'd get 2-3 percent of PayPal fees and that's it.

Anyone else seen this?

Sorry. Not sure if it's not clear.

When I used PayPal I got a shade under 13 percent charge.
10 percent ebay
3 percent paypal

This new method (no PayPal)
I have this charge which works out at about 15 percent

I was under the impression it was simply switching to a new systems (ebay charges 12.8 percent, no PayPal)

Well I'm delisting everything. It may be slower to sell on Facebook. But 15 percent fees, and then posting for 10 quid that's 50 quid off sale. Price

I stopped selling on ebay years ago because of the stupid fees. These days I mainly use FB Marketplace and Gumtree. I may get less interest in stuff but all sales are local/near local and face to face.

Yeah I'm done too. This ever Increasing fee game is over for me. Maybe Facebook can become new ebay with lower fees. After all. All they want is people to keep using the site.
