Half.com Shipping Reimbursement Question
 

I've sold a lot of DVDs and CDs on Half.com. What has always bugged me is they charge the buyer $2.49 shipping per item, but only reimburse $1.89 to the seller. I am very thankful to Ebay/Half.com because of the money I have made selling over the years, but I can't understand where the $0.60 goes. Does anyone know? I have sold about 1000 DVDs, CDs, and video games combined on Half.com. That's $600.00 that I feel is stolen from either myself, or the buyers. Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks, Mike

It is another way that Half.com can pad their pockets. But I thought I remember reading on the site they claimed they used it to help pay for return shipping for a buyer if they needed to return an item to a seller.

Well, think of it this way. If Half.com didn't overcharge the buyer for shipping, they would take even more out of your end.

I consider it a listing fee that doesn't have to be paid until the item sells.

Even better, back in the day, before they offered discounted shipping when purchasing more than one item from the same seller, they would charge the buyers $2.49 for each item, but then reimburse the sellers $1.89 for the first one and something like $0.99 for each additional item.

It's all just extra money for them.

I think it is the listing fees too... every compnay trying to charge hidden fees unless u email them to findout wat's going on
