...... so let me explain ............

I have the $2/$1 as do many sellers on ebay .. amounts differ, of course .........

On mine, $1 of EACH auction covers the listing fee, and the first $1 of the first one is what I use for the supplies and postage, regardless of what it costs ..... usually much more than that ... plus as my half, I pay the final ebay fees and the paypal 3% discount ......

Does this make it any clearer for you ..... ??
