Port calculation | Payment processing on eBay

Hello, I’m in a forum for the first time, so please excuse me.The issue: I sold something on eBay (2 kg parcel, insured, DHL cost 6.19€). After the message comes in that the buyer has paid, I processed the shipping label via the eBay form. All the details are automatically inserted there. Then you have various payment methods to choose from: via PayPal, via eBay, etc. I’ve always paid via PayPal so far, and then it’s also debited from my bank account by PayPal. So far, everything’s fine. But for about half a year now (unfortunately I only noticed it now, and it affects several cases by now), eBay deducts the shipping label cost (i.e. 6.19€) from the total amount the buyer paid (i.e. purchase price + postage/shipping costs) and transfers only the purchase amount to me. So now I’ve paid for the shipping label twice, once via PayPal and once via eBay. eBay says that’s how it’s supposed to be. Has anyone had similar experiences?LGlautanbi
