Insertion fees

northcoast_goods — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 23:01:07 GMT

eBay is trying to charge me fees for a free listing they offered I'm wondering do I have to pay it and why? The item sold but I thought any fees where automatically deducted from payment once the buyer pays for it.

It is free listings and not free selling

Listings may be free but you pay final value fees of 10% on the end price of your listing + the postage

Ebay charge the fees to your account as soon as the item is sold and invoice once a month for payment

To check your fees go to the account tab on your MY ebay page then Summary then Fees

Fees for motors

https://pages.ebay.co.uk/motorspricechange/

You also pay 3.4%+20 p if your buyer pays that way and those fees are taken as soon as the payment is made.

Too Add

That item should not have been sent by 1st Class Royal Mail it needed to go signed for

Items up to £20 can go 1st or 2nd class RM and the reciept has a 16 digit code which acts as tracked

Over £20 it need to go by as igned for method of postage with an appropriate amount of compesation

Over £50 and an item needs to go Next day delivery

If you send tracked then ebay policy is you have to add the tracking or 16 digit code onto the item before the latest estimated day of delivery

The Payment is the PayPal Fees. PayPal take their Fees as soon as the Buyer Pays.

The Listing maybe Free but you will still be charged a 10% Final Value Fee by Ebay plus another 10% on the Postage.

• While for the most part listing items for sale on eBay is free.....selling is not !!
•
• When an item sells you pay fees to two companies :
•
• First is Paypal who charge a fee of 3.4% + 20p (or 3.9% + 20p for international sales) per transaction for administration of the transfer of funds, banking & card charges. These fees are nothing to do with eBay & would be charged to receive any payment for Goods & Services into Paypal (including Facebook, Gumtree, Shpock etc)
•
• This fee is taken before you receive the funds for the sale as a balance in your account
•
• Second is eBay
•
• You will receive a monthly bill for eBay sales commission (Final Value Fee) which is charged at 10% of the sale price INCLUDING P&P
•
• This fee will appear split on your invoice as the fee on the item price is charged immediately the listing ends, however the fee on the P&P is only charged after the buyer has paid......this is because they may have arranged to collect, to have a premium service or possibly if they bought multiple items they may have been entitled to a postal discount......
•
• This fee will also additionally include any listing fees including those for optional upgrades such as reserves, buy now etc
•
• These fees will appear on your Paypal of bank account as "eBay Europe Sarl" or "eBayUKLimited"

• Details of fees here : http://sellercentre.ebay.co.uk/private/what-fees-youll-pay
•
• In addition, if you use eBay's SHUTL service to print & post your items then this charge will appear with your monthly eBay charges under "eBay SHUTL".....this is because these charges are no longer made at the time of printing, they are only made after the label has actually been used by the courier service & is billed once a month. You are not charged where you print a label & then do not use that courier service
