Higher fees for the GSP?

[Iron_chin]

I've just sold two exact same items at the same price, both with free shipping. One item sold through the global shipping programme and I've noticed I've been charged a little bit more in PayPal fees for that one. Was I charged more because it sold thru gsp or is there some other reason?

Have no idea....but plz correct me.someone, if im wrong.
Dont.ebay pay for the extra shipping.cost if.enrolled in this global shipping program.
Perhaps...youve paid the fees on that postage as you would pay yourself if you listed sonethibg with shipping costs. And if ebay have fronted this postage, then perhaps 10% of what they have paid, is what youve gotton billed for.
But thats my two cents worth for ebay fees, so not sure about the paypal part of this. Perhaps the same reason?

Could be.completely wrong here. Just guess work :-)

That makes sense halo I would think you may well have the nail on the head there perfectly, shipping fee's percentage!

Seems likely - I haven't checked exact differences though but PERHAPS there was a currency exchange also in play

The illegal act of charging commission on shipping costs...that old chestnut.

Hmmm. I'm not sure. If a currency exchange rate was applied (buyer was in Ireland so prob paid in euros) ain't they charged for that? Also the "money received" gross is the sane amount as all the other ones, there is no postage cost reflected on it. Abut weird really. It's not a lot if money but I just like to know this stuff.
