I spoke with a rep from ebay and they said they had been getting a lot of calls on this issue. However, they explained it away saying many other selling venues are doing the same thing. I just don't see how it can be legal to charge a fee on the sales tax portion of the sale, plus as a company you don't submit sales tax returns daily, think of all the interest they are making on that sales tax during the time it's paid and the time they submit it to the state.
So, while it sounds like a lot of people are voicing their complaints, who knows what will happen. Ebay does have a huge and worldwide base and that is the key point that makes it attractive to sellers. As for paypal, I've never had any issues there. As a matter of fact, when I call, I always get a very professional person who helps with any questions I might have. I can see that they have to be scrambling right now for business since Ebay has pretty much cut them out of the payment process, at least here in the U.S. I've gotten several emails from Paypal in the past month suggesting alternative ways to sell using them for the payment process.

I think it is very poor service to keep the fees even when the full amount has been refunded through no fault of the seller. What do you all think?
