My but people get on their high horses here. I have enjoyed reading so many who aren't effected defend the current practices, knowing full well they'd say the opposite if it were taking it's toll on them. Third item sold since the changes came into force, and the first one that has raised an issue that is contrary to what ebay have said so far. I understand the Buyer Protection Fee is supposed to be paid by all UK buyers. Fine, I don't agree with it, but it's scalping up front. However, the latest I sold was bought by someone from overseas and yet the BPF was still charged against the payment. If this is a sum to be paid by UK buyers, how has an international sale had it levied against the payment. I will say this too, when the item is delivered to the GSP hub, the payment is made to the seller, instantly, (well, to ebay balance at least) so roll on more sales to international buyers. However, I will be contacting ebay about the BPF made against the international sale since clearly the fee shouldn't be taken because the GSP is supposed to cover the protection of the sale.
