Why am I being charged?

I being charged £4.49 in an invoice but I have not sold any items on ebay in nearly 10 years?

As @redwick1 says there is a simple system set up by eBay.  If you get a buyer who does not pay then after 2 days you open a "non payer" case or [more recently] a "cancel for non-payment" case.  You have a time limit to do so [30 days] and if you did not do so within that time that is - sadly - why eBay found against you.  If you had done so you would have got a fee credit and would not have been out of pocket [though disappointed, no daubt].   The syetem is there and all eBay members [buyers and sellers] need to understand them.  EBay does work to strict time limits   @topsea_71
