eBay Selling Charges

[jbbarford]

I have just sold an item on eBay at a price of £60.00 + £5.00 pastage

With this new system eBay have held the payment for a number of days (one assumes eBay place the payment in an account that shows them a return) .  eBay then let you know that they are paying you less their charges which in this case came to £9.62 which is an extortionate  rate of 16% 

I find it disgusting that what was a good and genuine trading platform has become a money grabbing concern with no regard for its users

I will never again place any items for sale on eBay

Its a CON

read about the new system here:-

https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/getting-paid/introducing-managed-payments-ebay?id=4795

the final value fee for private sellers is 12.8% plus 30p

which is less than you paid when the fee was split between ebay and paypal
