eBay allowed exorbitant shipping fees the last time I was buying hand tools—only last year.
(Manual—not powered—drill only $10, $70 shipping fee).
I’m talking about sellers and the percentage of the sale that Ebay takes.
I said that Ebay stopped sellers from dodging fees by overcharging for shipping. In the old days Ebay took a percentage of the selling price, this left a loophole for sellers to charge a lot for shipping and pocket the difference.
Ebay now bases their cut on the total of the selling price and shipping charge.
