For those of you visiting this item who are not also eBay sellers, I want to share with you a little information about the fees eBay collects from us sellers. eBay charges a "Final Value Fee" of 14.95% on not just the price of the book, but also on shipping and taxes. This means eBay charges sellers 14.95% of what buyers pay in shipping and taxes, money that sellers never see or touch. So, in reality, the actual eBay tax rate is over 17.4% of the final sale price of the item. And fees paid to eBay by sellers are 16.6% higher than if eBay just taxed sellers for the final sale price of the item. EXAMPLE: I sell a book for $45, and the buyer also pays $3.92 in shipping (Media Mail) and $3.49 in sales tax. eBay charges me a 14.95% fee of $52.41, the combined total of the item itself, taxes & shipping. Meaning that net of fees I receive $37.16 from the sale of that $45 book, meaning 17.5% of the price of the book goes to eBay in the form of fees. $45 @ 14.95% = $6.72 in fees if fees were based only on the sale price of the book $45 + $3.92 + $3.49 = $52.41 total of the sale price of the book, plus shipping and taxes $52.41 @ 14.95% = $7.84 total fees paid by seller to eBay $7.84/$45 = 17.4% actual eBay fee as a percentage of the book's sale price $7.84 - $6.72 = $1.12 in additional fees paid on shipping and taxes $1.12/$6.72 = 16.6% higher fees on the combined sale price of the book, shipping and taxes than if the fee was only paid on the sale price of the book. $45 - $7.84 = $37.16 is the net profit received by a seller after eBay fees (84% of the sale price)
