I listed a car and buyer deleted his account and now ebay want fees

Why are ebay charging me fees for a car that I listed and someone bidded on and won and one day after deleted his account so there was noone for me to message for payment so I had to cancel and now ebay wants fees

Also they emailing me that's they're going to get in touch with a team to retried this payment from me even though I told them it's a fake buyer and they shud have str8cter policies on letting people bid

Listing fees are not refundable if a buyer doesn't pay.

Always best to list cars in the classified ads area it’s a flat fee for 30 days. It avoids this unfortunate scenario you are in now.

Listing a car on eBay is the same as listing it in your local paper,  if the car doesn't sell for whatever reason,  the paper would not refund you your advertising fee.

 

As mentioned, use a Classified ad to list a vehicle most would agree it's the best format, see here:

unless you cancelled the sale for non payment, not only the listing fee is payable, you will also be charged the selling fee.

Ebay does use debt collectors for unpaid fees, and  fees of debt collectors also have to be paid.
Members cannot just delete/remove accounts, only ebay can do that.
