<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1622678, member: 37498&quot;]I don&#039;t understand the confusion with shipping costs and fees on FeeBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buyers are a little bit smarter than they were in the early days of the Internet.&nbsp; They decide how much they&#039;re willing to pay for an item, they take shipping expenses into consideration, and they bid accordingly.&nbsp; For example, if they&#039;re willing to pay $20 for an item, they&#039;ll bid the full $20 if it has free shipping.&nbsp; If the seller is charging $5 for shipping, they&#039;ll bid $15.</p><p><br /></p><p>Several years back, sellers were abusing a loophole where they could avoid paying final value fees by selling a $20 item for $0.01 with $19.99 shipping.&nbsp; FeeBay caught on and initially tried to address the problem by ending auctions where the sellers were charging excessive shipping fees.&nbsp; When that either failed or resulted in too much effort, they once again changed their rules so that fees are also levied on shipping charges.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, with all this in mind, how is it that a seller can recover fees by charging for shipping?&nbsp; In the end, you&#039;re paying around 12% fees on a $20 transaction, regardless of how you allocate your shipping expenses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
