Rapidly getting fed up with Ebay now. Not sure how long its been like this but I found out today that they charge you a final value fee on the total cost paid by the buyer including your postage.

I always thought P&P was excluded from fee.

So if your XYZ item sells to Johnny for 99p and it costs a tenner to post it, he gets a bargain fair enough but ebay smack you for a minimum of £1.10 - wheres the sense in listing stuff now.

Not so bad if everything you list is Buyer Collect but you restrict your audience then......


It wasnt long ago the final value fee was 5% not 10% and it was only on the sale price. Postage was never included.

I think they are taking the piss nowadays.......I will be using Gumtree much more now as its totally free (although I wonder for how much longer). Pity though because I'm sure you get more wasters on Gumtree.
Then again Ebays got its fair share of those too.
