I have been selling this year including free postage and noticed my fees are reflecting a higher percentage auction price and not discounting the cost of postage which is clearly advertised to be the medium flat rate usps box rate. I am getting charged a commission on the postage by Ebay as a result and that does not seem fair. They should probably note on their site that adding free postage as a convience to buyers and aiming to get rid of the confusion that you will be paying more for postage than necessary as a result. I would rather like a correction in my fees to discount the postage from the fees if indeed this is the case. The option of having free postage provided makes ebay more user friendly for buyers which assists ebay overall being a cash flow generator so why should sellers not have the stated rate of postage excluded from auction fees. I am paying about $1.20 to ebay to make postage free and I had absolutely no idea I was wasting money doing this until I recently saw my very high bill based. Does Ebay charge a fee on final value postage added on to other accounts too? There is a consumer affairs division or two that might take an interest in adding fees on a listed cost of selling and considering that I now buy the postage though paypal. If my suspicion of overcharging for postage in excess of cost maybe an illegal trade practice. It just has that kind of feel to it. I realize that some ebay sellers inflate postal expenses but then packing and handling costs are added on at mail order so even so it may be an "unfair trade practice" . If you know that this is the reason my bill is so high because I am using "postage included" and I would not be paying a tarrif on the added postage if I don't include it let me know. I am also curious if I end up paying an ebay fee if I don't include the postage when postage is assessed (that leads to questions if it should not be discounted in paypal as well as on the ebay side??? I am just curious because I had not realized I might be paying more than i realize just by realizing a higher upfront value instead of adding the postage later? I can't get this kind of question answered on the ebay site.
