I'm sure this problem is for ebay related sellers, of which too many
just aren't pros and don't know how to handle refunds and the like
why do I say this?
Because I sold $1000 today from my own website, I'm about to download
the money & it will be in my bank account tomorrow

You are right on John. I've had customers buy things and pay for it and then
decide they didn't want it. Recently a woman purchases a signed Doris Day
photo from me and bought it and her husband had a fit and made her
cancel the order. It cost me a lot in the paypal fees for something I had no
Hi Helmut
I think this illustrates my concern. Paypal fees are a lot more than 0.40 cents
for refunds but many sellers are simply not aware of this.
Here is an example

I see ebay fees are just one expense of being in business. If I was
taking credit cards direct, my costs would be no less.
But I never have any problems with the platform to speak of.

Well, actually the problem is exactly the same for pros and casual sellers
although it is certainly worse on eBay. If someone purchases something but
changes their mind and wants a refund, the seller refunds the money. However,
Paypal keeps the original fee that the seller was charged.

Tired of eBay and PayPal fees that grow and grow and grow? Tired of dealing
with difficult buyers, and having to scan, photograph and list items, and
having to pack, wrap and ship every order?

Rich,
the ridiculous Paypal fees are not limited to ebay. When somebody sends me
money and I refund the full amount, Paypal still charges me some kind of
'transaction fee'. It's 'only' 40 cents or something, but for an enterprise
like Paypal it should add up to a nice extra profit.
It seems
I wish (in some ways, of course) that I could say that it is not worth it for
us. But it is.
Sue, the word is not "crazy". It's GREEDY.
It would be more honest, if not less greedy, if they would cut out the TAX-FEE
and just raise the final value fee percentage. But that would be a more
Wow, what a scam. Is there a good alternative to ebay? Does Etsy make

I spoke with a rep from ebay and they said they had been getting a lot of calls
on this issue. However, they explained it away saying many other selling
venues are doing the same thing. I just don't see how it can be legal to
charge a fee on the sales tax portion of the sale, plus as a company
