Final Value Fee on Shipping

Ebay is getting a tad bit under handed now, they now charge you a fee on shipping? Come on really? That just means I have to raises prices even more. Which means I sell less, and they make less.


Final Value Fee on Shipping US $1.32
Final Value fee US $5.16

Well, I have a feeling they did this because so many people were trying to take advantage of the system and cheat eBay out of listing fees. For instance, all the items I've ever seen listed for $10 with a $60 shipping fee. Make sense?
 
But if you try and charge actual shipping cost, which ebay can cross check since they process all that, you lose money, as they take a cut. you can't get ahead of it easy.
 
If you are raising prices, it probably means everyone else is too. It's the cost of doing business. Make sure your price includes any profit margin you want so you aren't taking a hit by Ebay's new fee structure.
