Rip off fees !!!!

[kennyf2407]

Sold one item on eBay a projector and I'm being charged £42 ????? Took a loss on this over £100 & now I have an invoice from eBay for £42 !!! Scandoulus and a downright rip off will never sell on eBay again

Can't be a rip off - you knew full well that eBay charge 10% - PayPal also charge fees.

Cmon £42 !! rip off gits eBay & paypal ! Fair enough £10 or something but not £42,will never sell again on eBay not with those astronomical fees,projector cost me £525 sold at a loss & now another £42 loss ! Wish I didn't bother & won't fall for it again,will stick to Gumtree from now on

Gumtree is owned by eBay

We can argue all night about this but it’s still a bloody rip off ! considering shutting my eBay account over this to be honest

I would if I were you.

If you can't work out what 10% is it'll be more of a hindrance in life, I reckon.

To be honest no I didn’t know it was 10%,but hey if your all happy with eBay & PayPal ripping you off with that amount then good luck to you all ! £42 is a god damn rip off & won’t fall for it again & yes maybe I should have looked more carefully but it’s still scandalous charging that amount & will use gumtree in future & I can live without eBay !

Why not do what all canny sellers do, that is , find out all costs, and add them to your starting price, so in effect your buyer pays, and you are not out of pocket. Your item sold for £420? I'm sure adding that £42 fee to the start price the buyer would have still been happy to buy it.

Or cash on collection, then there are even no Paypal fees to pay!
