That used to annoy me. eBay initially did take a % on the postage, but that was years ago. They said it was changed because a few sellers were avoiding the selling fees by manipulating postage fees. For example if someone sold a $90 book with $10 postage, eBay would get $9. People were basically reversing that selling that same book for say $30 and charging $70 postage and eBay got only $3. That may be an extreme example, but it was happening so eBay started taking their % on postage. I see. We all suffer due to a few manipulating the process - usual drill! Here's a questionable design aspect. I received a comic today in a flimsy ebay marked envelope. It was a miracle it wasn't destroyed - just the comic loose in a lightweight bubble envelope with no padding or card support. When I go to give feedback, and plan on leaving fewer stars under the postage element, I'm not offered the option! So presumably, 'ebay packaging' is guaranteed somehow and can't be questioned? It says "The seller received automatic 5-star ratings for other aspects of this transaction" So a seller can charge full postage prices, use sub-standard materials, and because they have the ebay label on them they're fine and I can't rate them!

Barmy... Yes, but you can explain in your feedback. I rarely use the star system anyway, if i was to have an issue I would squeeze it into the text box.

justafan Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Are ebay final value fees on comics still 10% or does it fall under the 12% for books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
