Buyers Fees

[spicerhome]

I sold an Item yesterday for £330 but I have had £13.91 deducted from that amount leaving £316.19 as the amount I will receive. Why has a deduction been made I thought the buyer should have been paying this fee?

Did you accept an offer from the buyer for £330? This is the maximum the buyer is offering.

If so that includes the buyer fee which eBay deduct before sending the balance to the seller

Your offer should have at the bottom 

You have received an offer of £xx

You will receive £YY

Ended listing shows you accepted offer.

So @61stephenuk is correct with total you receive.

Thank you.  Yes I did accept the offer but my understanding was that the buyer pays the buying fee.  Ebay do state that the buyer pays the buying fee.   After googling it, it does appear to be a general grievance that Ebay are doing this.   Ebays practice to deduct this money from the seller needs to be set out  more clearly I think. 

Thanks for your reply

The aggrieved people are those that either don't understand how offers work, or who prefer their own narrative.
