Sorry but that was silly.&nbsp; Never assume you will get more than one bid, so always start your auction at the minimum you'd be happy to sell for.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><a href="https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3702488">@standal1complex</a></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 18 Nov 2015 20:49:08 GMT angelah1847 2015-11-18T20:49:08Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Selling-fees/qaq-p/4505221 <P>No, but seriously?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1. I sold five items this month. The first five items listed. Whyam I paying insertions fees?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2. One item sold £1.01. I have to pay a £0.36 insertion fee, plus a £1.77 final value fee. That £2.13. Twice of what I got for the item. that's just one example. Why?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>3. The money I made is being held back for some reason or other unknown to me, for a period of 21 days or so, it's not entirely clear when I can get them and paypal cannot answer because ebay are holding on to it. My account is in good standing and my performance level is "above standard". But, get this, I have got an invoice to the tune of £14.14 that is deducted automatically from my account sometime between Nov 30 and Dec 2.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Why? What for?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Seriously?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Is there something I haven't read?</P> Wed, 18 Nov 2015 20:22:52 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Selling-fees/qaq-p/4505221 standal1complex 2015-11-18T20:22:52Z
