  Technically they provide the facility for which you can provide a postage service.

  • Ebay charge for listing eg in an auction or rent if you have a store.
    

  They give many sellers free listings on a regular basis so it is not a level playing field. They constantly seem to have Free listing promotions by "invitation only".

  My combined Int'l shipping was fixed about a year ago.
  Taking 10% of postage means everyone loses on shipping.

  I'm over the losses on the postage - people don't realise how many fingers are in the cookie jar with eBay sales.
  

  • Ebay charge for listing eg in an auction or rent if you have a store.
    
  • Ebay takes a commission for the sale.
  • Ebay takes a commission for the postage.
  • PayPal then take a commission on the entire sale including the postage too.
  • Add in the cost of the packaging

  So bugger it, I just charge high enough on postage to cover all the fees, you want the item then pay the postage.

  Charging commission on postage is immoral and should be illegal. Charging for a service they don't provide is a disgraceful move by eBay.

  Try making a complaint to ebay. There is no facility and you will be re-routed back to the website at every turn.
  Come to think of it, I feel a bit re-routed after dealing with them!
