AFAIK Ebay (at least in the UK) doesn't include postage in its final value fee, where postage is specified separately that is. It takes its bite of that particular cherry via the PayPal charge. There is, however, (not so) subtle pressure to get sellers to offer free postage where Ebay *does* get to take a slice of the postal charges. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Which means, of course, that it's almost impossible to make a profit on heavy, low cost items. I used to go out of my way to make sure my buyers were paying the actual shipping costs, but after all ebay's changes, it's easier to estimate worse case shipping coast to coast, or do free shipping with plenty of shipping built into the fixed price. -Dave - Ebay fees don't reflect shipping cost, so the seller makes more money by inflating the shipping price, even if it reduces the final sales price.
