Fees

I listed my item under the £1max selling fee but the item didn’t sell. I have an invoice today for £80 from eBay. Is this correct?

'Reserve not met'  ... setting a reserve price costs 4% fee on the price set whether item is sold or not  ... much better to start at an accceptable price which would be your reserve and avoid using expensive listing upgrades >

you added a reserve and a buy it now, so yes it is correct,

the offer was for the final value fees, not the insertion fees,

adding a buy it now costs 50p and using a reserve costs 4% of the reserve set.

Thank you for the clarification. A shame I wasn’t aware when placing the advert. MAX £1 selling fees with all its bells and whistles turns out isn’t what you need. I’m amazed anyone can use eBay or continues to do so with such traps. I know I certainly won’t be in future. Best wishes.

most people read the T&C's to find out what they are being offered

and look at the listing form before clicking 'list with displayed fees' as the fees are clearly shown on the listing form, before you list it.

There would also have been 50p for Auction with BIN.

All chargeable fees are shown before you list, by clicking LIST WITH DISPLAYED FEES mean exactly what it says, by listing you agree to pay the fees.

£1 Maximum FVF offers only cover the selling fee, NOT EXTRAS. Read offers in future including the T & C.
