I am totally confused on why I set a listing for the buyer to pay shipping. Then I have to pay to print a label. I would rather write out the address then pay how many ever dollars to print a label. So basically is there a way for me to only lose the 12.55% or whatever for whatever category. Plus the $0.30 for fixed price and whatever tax. This seems like the most simplest thing turned into the most complicated thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.. please help.

The buyer, when he pays, pays YOU the item price plus the shipping cost plus the state sales tax, if any.
YOU then use the shipping amount that the buyer paid YOU to buy the label to ship the item.
Perhaps do a little bit more reading about how selling works.

The buyer pays you for the shipping, then you have to pay the carrier.
Have a great day.

The buyer paid you for the shipping label, so you print it through eBay. You are charged the final value fee on postage whether you purchase it through eBay or the USPS.
