Buyer protection fee
So I’m a little confused! It says the buyer pays the protection fee but I’ve just accepted an offer on an item for 130 then 10 p+p so 140 , I am only getting 134 odd and still got to pay the postage so essentially I’m paying the protection fee ??

Mentor10 months agoThis is a regular question. Oddly, eBay adds the buyer protection fee to the sale price in auctions and BINs, but deducts it from offers, when accepted.
This is explained to buyers, many don't read it. We have even received questions from buyers who don't understand why their offers were not high enough.

Mentor10 months agoThe seller only needs to look at the 'you will receive' amount to see what they will get.
The buyer makes their offer including the fee, in this case £130 +post, eBay will take the fee from this and send the rest to seller who ends up with £134

Mentor10 months agoYes, in that sense you are but I suppose ebay would regard the offer as £134.

Mentor10 months agoBuyers offer what they want to pay.
This includes BPF.
Ebay could make it clearer with offers.
