E-bay is changing fees, yet again, with their crosshairs aimed at sellers. To encourage free shipping from sellers, they are going to start charging their final value fees on both the end cost of the item AND the shipping charge that the buyer pays. So, Sellers have to pay a ~9% fee on something they have no control over - the price of shipping an item.

This is E-bays way of preventing auctions that are listed for $0.99 and have a 20.00 shipping charge, in order to avoid paying e-bay fees on the sale of an item, unfortunately, it screws all the other sellers in the process.

say a seller wants to sell a large item, that costs $50.00 to ship. The seller has to pay an extra $4.50 "just because"

Really too bad. Latest in a streak of fee increases for sellers

Oh, but, theres a way you can avoid this change-- by subscribing to an E-bay store for the low price of $15.95/mo.

Lolz....
