Re: Final Value Fee on Shipping? WTF?

I agree with this post. As a seller I always charge the buyer
exact postage. It is totally inappropriate to extend a FVF onto
shipping charges. I will not definitely curtail my selling. 9% on
items plus Paypal 2.9% plus 30¢ is enough!!!
Ebay should not be making money on postage...this is not
right!!!!

Yeah, it sucks. I always prided myself on not gouging for shipping, keeping
it a "profit neutral" aspect. I guess I'm going to have to start listing
shipping costs as "actual shipping costs plus ten percent".
