Smal Rant re. eBay Managed payments for international sales. Fees on fees on fees!

Thanks, checking the order I referred to the options to print a packing slip/invoice show the same, correct sales tax but the buyer was in the US, perhaps the buyer being in Canada makes a difference, it is a bit odd.

The fees for international fee for Canada is the same as the US, I think it's just bad programming on the fees breakdown page.

1. EDIT: I've just checked the invoice to the buyer and eBay have charged them £79.54 Postage (of which £20 went to me (minus their fees of course). Bur most interestingly, they have charged the buyer £45.87 Sales Tax when they state on my fees breakdown that this was £40.50. So it seems like they are double collecting extra from both me and the buyer and pocketing it!
   

Did you mean to leave your seller ID visible in 'a message from'?

I suspect the buyer also needs to pay sales tax on the bit of the postage which doesn't go to you - which may be why there is more sales tax on their invoice than on yours.  I can't get it to calculate out exactly though.

Well spotted! I thought I’d covered everything but nobody is perfect. 🤪

 I was more concerned about protecting the buyer and the item to be honest so I’ll leave it there. 😊
