eBay has been combining both the shipping price and the selling price for awhile now,and then charges the seller a total % on that total number.
Reason being is sellers before this,were trying to save themselves a significant amount of money,(can't say I blame them),by listing say a $300,or a much higher priced item for only $15 Buy It Now,(the amount it really cost to ship that part),then putting the shipping cost at $300.Ebay was only charging them a fee % on that $15 total selling price.
Ebay soon got wind of this,and basically said,that's it kids,the party is over.
So now they charge the fee% on the entire ball of wax price.

You would need to include the 13% in the shipping cost...$339 and still lose some because now the percentage is based on $339, not $300 but the loss isn't as big. Seems like a lose-lose for sellers now. There's always FB marketplace chaos as a venue...

Have U considered your local craigslist?,especially for such a large item like yours.
I've had great success selling buying/selling on my CL,as they've had a resurgence since Fees and scams have become rampant on other selling venues.
Meet in person @ local Police station & exchange cash for item.
