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. ~DD
