TAX - new tax regulations

What do you think about this?

2015 years

List price = $ 19- 50% = $ 9.5 (earnings)

2016 years ( new tax regulations )

List price = $19
less buyer fee - $3.80
Item price = $15.20
Less backup withholding tax at 28% - $4.26
Less Author fee at 36.25% per our rates- $ 5.51

Net earnings = $ 5.43

They take us 44% !

19$ - 44% = $ 5.43 !

I feel cheated

Same here :confused:

the fact of the matter is that fees have always been high here and the problem; is that when u had some additional taxes , then gains go down again , not to mention that i guess a lot of guys are far from being feeling the benefit of the move … we had been pro;used that the shift would also be associated with higher US sales which is far from being obvious … lol

totally agree. i feel extremely disappointed too… but what can we do about it but complain and hope to sell item to non-usa buyers
