Quoted from Haymaker:Theres no more paypal transaction fee, as your paypal account is no longer attached to your ebay account. I do think they bumped up their cut to like 11% now though.
Not for everyone.
Quoted from Haymaker:the 10% fee on shipping, please correct me if I'm wrong, just comes off as part of the 10% (or 11% whatever) of the final value fee. So lets say you sold something for 100 bucks plus 10 bucks shipping, their 10% cut comes from the $110 total. It kind of sucks but they did it because sellers were listing things really cheap but with expensive shipping to circumvent seller fees.
Sort of, when you think of it as a final total. When you're listing an item, you have to keep in mind that they take 10% of the item's price, as well as 10% of whatever shipping cost you list. Not everyone realizes this, so then they end up being 10% short on the shipping cost after the item sells.
Quoted from Haymaker:I also could be wrong about this but I'm pretty sure buyer pays taxes no matter what now.
It depends on where the seller is and where the buyer is. A few states don't collect it, but most do now. I sold a couple things to people from Florida recently, and sales tax wasn't applied.
