Requesting clarification from ebay. The page about the changes (https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/paying-items/buyer-protection?id=5594) mentions auctions once, under the seller questions heading. It says:
How is this fee calculated for Auctions when the final selling price isn't known yet?
When you enter a starting bid, we add the Buyer Protection fee so you can see what the buyer's minimum bid amount will be. As the Buyer Protection fee is variable, the fee amount that the buyer actually pays is calculated as part of the final auction selling price.
By including the fee in the buyer's bid price, we're making it simple and transparent so buyers always know what they'll pay and sellers know how much they'll receive.
So it's clear what it looks like when you list an auction, it is not clear to me what it looks like as a buyer when you place a bid. If I bid £10, will I pay £10, or will you show me on the bid screen that it will be £11.15, or will it not be communicated until checkout, or some other system?
If it is "on top" as it were, how will this function (by default, not what site admins choose to do) on authorised third party tools?
