Additional fees on private listings

Hi, does anybody know why there is an additional fee above the buyer protection fee and the 4% on private listings. I am for example listing an item for £29 including postage. When I view my own listing,  I see the price is £37.60 broken down to item price as £35.67 + buyer protection fee  £1.93. And it does not say postage included. But it says ask seller about postage. It's driving me nuts, is there an added fee for buyers in UK during the weekend? I am not promoting the listing, so that can't be reason.

Re: Additional fees on private listings

What's the listing number, or is it still in draft form?

not sure where to find the listing number, just forwarded the link for it to my what's app. See above. Also all my other listing selling prices have shot up today. Not sure if this is a weekend thing, same thing happened last weekend, when I was listing someting new. Buyer bought on Monday and the price she paid was the one just including the 4% and buyer protection fee, as intended. 
I have just had a look at some other people's listings, which I browsed yesterday. The prices are up today, Saturday, from what they were yesterday. Looks like selling and buying during the weekend is now a big no no.

Re: Additional fees on private listings

Hi, something happened there after my message with the link to you on the seller community, all my listing prices have miraculously gone down to just the normal listing price plus buyer protection fee. So the one I sent the link for went down to £30,88 with free postage, instead of more than £37 with just a message about having to enquire seller about postage. 🙏
Was going to give up selling on ebay, as really don't want anyone to have to pay extortionate fees. But will stick with it now.
Thank you for your interest in this.

Glad that it's sorted itself out! There are so many technical issues and weird glitches going on at the moment.

It is now showing £5.88 postage by Yodel for me, although it does say postage included in your description.

Re: Additional fees on private listings

Thanks, and price has gone up to £37,60 again, earlier it settled back to £30,88 and said free postage. Just looked and it's £37,60 now, no mention of postage apart from ask seller about it. It's a bit like a weekend VAT added to the price. I think next weekend I'll stop all my sales for two days and see how it goes on a Monday again. Shame as weekends used to be the time to sell. Now no one is buying. Not to worry. Leena

Currently it's showing £30.88 or best offer for me (with freepost or collection).

Re: Additional fees on private listings

From this and all the other issues I am reading about it would appear that the whole site has developed so many issues that it has gone into a tailspin! - and all of their own making.

 

I will just continue to keep my items on pause and see how the next week unfolds! - but I am not holding my breath for a fast fix!
