On the following page...
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fvf.html

Scroll down half a page until you see the pale yellow box with a little chart titled: "Example of a Final Value Fee calculation for an auction listing". They say if you sell an item for $60.00... for the first $25.00 you pay 8.75% Final Value Fee, and for the remaining $35.00 you pay 3.50% Final Value Fee. But EBAY doesn't charge me like that, they charge me a straight 8.75 Final Value Fee for the FULL $60.00 amount.

So in other words, if you sell something for $60.00, Ebay charges you:
 - For the first $25.00 you pay 8.75%, which is $2.19
 - For the remaining $35.00 you pay 3.50%, which is $1.23
 - So for this item the Final Value Fee is $3.42 ($2.19 + $1.23)

So by looking at that, Ebay is saying that if you sell an item for $60.00, that your Final Value Fee after the item has sold should be $3.42 ... but I just sold an item for $60.00 and they charged me $5.25

And I missing something or just don't understand this right?


Thanks!
