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.

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.

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.
