Charged to relist motorcycle after non payment by buyer

[tony-ac-racing]

Hi, my first time trying this, I listed classified ad for motorcycle £19.99 fee, a buyer made an offer that I accepted, I waited, messaged but nothing, following links and ai help chat thing I managed to cancel the order due to non payment. But when relisting it I have been charged £19.99 again. Im now 40 quid down just to advertise a bike for sale? How can that be fair

Listing fees are never refunded. 

List as classified ad, listing fee for 30 days, no other fees.

Not sold until buyer pays you.

It's the same if you advertised your bike in your local paper.  If it didn't sell,  the paper would not refund you,  your advertising fee, no matter how many times you listed your bike,  it would be charged each time, same on eBay.

If it was a classified ad. then there was no need to cancel, it would have continued for the full 30 days. With a classified ad. sale is only completed when you are paid.

The only fee with a classified ad. is the £19.99, which is not refundable, and once cancelled if you relist will have to be paid again.

He made an offer, I accepted, the listing was no longer on ebay, it was classed as sold in my Ebay.

Frustrating that someone wastes my time and money 

Thanks anyway, guess I live and learn. Won't be selling on here again
