Was just about to purchase an item when I noticed a ~£3 "buyer protection fee".
What an absolute scam. As a buyer, I absolutely refuse to pay eBay for the privilege of bare minimum customer service. Foisting hidden fees and extra charges onto buyers is NOT remotely acceptable.
In this website's footer there's a link called "Selling Fees". When will eBay add an equivalent link for "Buying Fees"?
What a ridiculous situation.
