Ebay fees incorrect, higher than they should be.

I'm selling an item for £150, I work out the buyer fee to be £6.10 but ebay is charging the 'buyer' £6.68. It should be 10p plus 4% which is £6.10.

I think there is a band before the 4% is charged

• A flat fee of up to £0.10 per item. 
• 7% of the item price up to £20. 
• 4% of any portion of the item price from £20 to £300.

I just noticed the 7% a few minutes ago, and was about to edit my post.  I'm pretty sure there wasn't a 7% before.  So the new fees aren't quite as good as I thought they were.

They dropped the flat fee from 75p to 10p, so for lower value items under £20 it is still lower than it was, but little changed for higher value items.

I think it was added when ebay rejigged the Buyers Protection Fee introducing the lower flat fee of 10p - they gave with one hand and took back with the other!
