Buyer would not complete deal on sale of my car -£14,000. I immediately received an ebay bill for appox £25 on an assumed sale.
I cancelled and manually relisted yesterday. already this has attracted a further £25 costs.
When making the original advert I did receive an email from Ebay offering something free -f I think listing.
Are these charges correct. HB
Just to add that everything you need to know about selling on Ebay, including what the fees are, is in the Seller Centre. You also have the Help pages with their integral search to refer to. You are also shown exactly what the fees will be at the end of the listing process, before hitting the 'Submit with above fees' button, giving you the option to make changes or not to list at all.
If you'd done your homework prior to listing, you'd have found that listing vehicles in Ebay's Classifieds (or on Gumtree, Ebay's sister site) is generally a far better option, not least because you can leave the ad running till someone has actually turned up, paid, and taken the vehicle away. If you list for auction or BIN, you have to accept that change-of-mind is inevitable, as no person in their right mind will pay for a car unless it's exactly what they're looking for, which they won't know until they've seen it in the flesh. Plus, you will always get timewasters who don't even bother to turn up.
