Just received my ebay invoice. After double checking the Final Fee, I have discovered that each one is 63 cents higher than it should be. Using my handy dandy calculator and ebays own website for FVF, they are making almost $1 extra on each sale.
Should be 5.25% .01 - 25.00
2.75% 25.01 - 1000.00
Check the math on your invoice and see what you come up with. Could be another "glitch" in the software.

Haven't gotten a response from ebay yet. Each of my items that ended on the same day are off by 63 cents. According to ebay, I should be charged 2.75% FVF for each item. I assume that it will take an eternity to hear from ebay on this.

Mrhaney... you are aware that the amount upto $25. is 5.25% that included items that ended for over $25.00
ie: item sold for $50.00 the FVF would be:
$1.31 (0-$25) plus 68 cents = $1.99
Did you have tons of items end for the same amount around $50? If you were figuring them all at a straight 2.75% then there is the answer.
There's no danger of developing eyestrain from looking at the bright side of things!

Sweetboo - your post makes no sense. If the FVF for items up to $25 is 5.25% then if an item closes at $50 then it should have a FVF of 2.75%. All of my items closed above $25 so should be charged FVF of 2.75%. Doing simple math shows that ebay overcharged.

dman - now i get it. after your explanation i went and double checked the ebay site. BTW it looked totally different from when I looked at it the other day. My error then. But it still is ridiculous to charge 2 FVF for the same item. Ebay really does try to stick it to us sellers.
Sweetboo - It would appear that this is what you were trying to explain and I didn't get it.
Thanks
