You may think that it is wierd for ePay, but it's not uncommon to United
States citizens as a whole. That type of system, called a marginal rate
scale, is used by the Internal Revenue Service (but called "tax brackets")
for calculating your Income Tax. Yes, folks, ePay uses the same system as
the US Government uses. The only difference is that the IRS marginal rate
increases as the scale goes up; ePay's goes down.
Not to really drag this thread out anymore than needed, I need to mention that
a customer support person named Erin at eBay did email me last night and explain
the process in a manner that was understandable, unlike the page they post to
read. Maybe they ought to get Erin to rewrite the page?
I've already had dealings with the IRS scale when I was self employed, much the
same as Willy Nelson found (except that I did file!). Thanks for the help.
