eBay

pather46 · ‎18-11-2024

I bid on an item and won it. I watched the bidding until I won. My winning bid was £32.77 plus postage.

The system said it was going to determine who won. It then said I won and I had to pay £37.00 plus postage.

How did the cost suddenly go up. The ebay assistant was more than useless.

Can anybody help please

judging by how slow the eBay website is lately when it comes to search pages loading

Slow loading search results can be caused by an ad blocking filter in certain situations. Try temporarily disabling your ad blocker if you use one to see if that speeds up your search results.

If it does, the problem may be with a set of filters known as an "Anti-Circumvention" filter in Ad Block or "ABP Filters" in Ad Block Plus. If you disable those or the equivalent filters in other ad blockers, you may be able to continue blocking ads on eBay without slowing down your search results.

Thanks for your suggestion Eburtonlab

I do use adbock plus as I loathe these annoying flash based ads on eBay that slow down my computer... 😞

I will try this ! 😎

That looks like VAT being added. Was the seller located overseas?

Is it the buyers protection fee? Have just discovered it on an item I have won when I was trying to figure out why it was asking for more then the winning bid. Even the postage cost has increased from what it states on the listing page, to what they charge on the checkout page. Tell you what Ebay, this is the last item I buy from a private seller! Congratulations on ruining Ebay for private sellers.
