I agree about the commission on Postage but postage charges can be grossed up to cover the commission by dividing the actual postage by [1-(percentage of Ebay commission paid on postage)]. I wish there was some way to fight the loss of my Top Seller status because, sometimes, the product I sell can be shipped in a First Class envelope with postage stamps. Thus, I have no tracking numbers to upload because it would rip off the customer to charge them $1 more for postage to get tracking on a business sized envelope. Further, about 99% of my business is customer work, which cannot be prepared and shipped within the new 1 day handling requirement when orders are heaviest. Now I will lose my 20% seller discount because I have lost my Top Seller status. So, in months when orders are heaviest, I pay Ebay the maximum commission percentage, which defies all business models except theirs! I am a retired CPA and well experienced in telling other people how to increase their profits. Apparently, Ebay has some pretty shrewd accountants also because the way they have structured this requirement virtually eliminates the 20% discount for many of their customers, which puts a ton more money in Ebay's pocket. This is mercenary and unjust when the ratings from my buyers in every category of service besides tracking uploads is well above standard, sometimes buy 1000%. This is the lawsuit I am waiting to join! I think raising your fees all the while denying that they are raising fees is fraud.
