EBAY QUESTION... Shipping cost count towards FVF?

TRAVISAKERS · Jul 18, 2011

Does anybody know if eBay also gets a portion of your shipping cost? Here is my thought, not original I am sure...

If I list an item for $1 BIN and put $40 for shipping would eBay get % of $1 or of everything including shipping???

You can lose your account for doing that. That is against their TOS. I've seen it happen, and glad it does to those that do that. Just pay your fees like everyone else, no matter how lame ebay is. I hate all the fees that get taken out, but you gotta play by the rules or they will step in.

Yes they now get a portion of the shipping and you'll probably get booted off Ebay.

Good idea because I am sure I'm not the only one who has wondered. Still proves the message boards are the best place to do business/trades.

~yeah man, buck up and pay like everyone else for using their services~

technical term is "circumvention of fees"

there is a way around if you do charge shipping and dont offer free shipping. right after the auction ends, send an invoice with the shipping charge in the "additional charges" section and make the shipping 0. im such a criminal
