Hi, Just asking this out of curiosity. For private sellers a Buyer Protection Fee is added to the cost of the item but not including the postage.So, for example, if a private seller lists an item for £100 including postage then the Buyer Protection Fee is 4% of the £100 plus 75p (or 72p as it seems to be in reality) making the BPF £4.72.In this example could a private seller get away with listing the item for 1p plus £99.99 postage making the BPF only 74p (rounded up) and less BPF cost for the buyer ?
