Hello everybody Happy New Year.
Can anyone help me understand the fee concept that has been added?
I have not had this happen before and It is nearly impossible to get through to someone right now.
I sold a dress on ebay for $1.99 (was a steal for the buyer). I received the "payment" through paypal via ebay.
It appears that I only received $1.63 due to a processing fee?
The customer REFUSED to pay the shipping and handleing so I refunded her $1.99.
At the time I hadnt seen the payment so I did not know I only got $1.63. (18% fee???)
When I refunded the buyer her payment,it shows that I paid $1.99 for which she received $1.93.
In any case I paid back $1.99. So I have lost .66 cents and did not make the original sale.
So I am at (negative) -$1.99 plus (negative) - .66.
In essence I am at a (negative) -$2.65. Instead of adding $1.99 to my account for a sale I lost 133% of the total expected amount for the sale.
I know that the literal amount is minute but the idea is illogical.
If the dress had been $199.00 for example, on those terms the loss would have been quite significant.
I am having trouble accepting this as justified. I would really like to know,
if anyone knows an alternative form of payment to use for ebay transactions rather than paypal?
Thank you for your input.
