Ebay over charging

Ebay is over charging, i won an item for £208 there is no extra charges or postage, i have spoken to the seller and they agree it's £208 owed, but Ebay keeps asking for £220, that was my maximum bid not my winning bid.

Is Ebay ripping customers off.

Looks like the Buyer Protection Fee added.

Thanks for your reply, but this is a complete customer rip off, looks like I'll be using marketplace and vinted from now on.

You should see the breakdown of how £220 is made up, as purchase price of £208 the buyer protection at 4% plus 10p equals  £8.32 plus 10p ( which for some reason is charged as 8p). Makes total £216. 42 (or 40)

Sorry it is 7% on first £20  so that adds another 60p, £217.

I noticed ebay has done a big advertising campaign about no more charges for selling items on ebay, but i didn't notice in the advertising anywhere saying they're passing the charges to the buyer...
Absolute rip off

If you pop over to the Discussion Boards you'll see many,  many threads,  from many,  many unhappy peeps,  at some quite radical changes  for both buyer and seller ! 🤔

Free to list and sell is a big con. Ebay is suffering from Rigor Mortis as they continue to plug promotions, which are NOT free.
