Insertion fees

[northcoast_goods]

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

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
