car selling

Why do ebay still charge £14.95 selling fee for car if it does not sell. Is it re advertised free ?  seems a rip off.

How can it be a rip-off...?  Ebay's fees are clearly listed In the Seller Centre and in the Help pages, so you know exactly what it will cost before you decide whether to list or not.  You're also shown exactly what it will cost at the end of the listing process, before you hit the 'Submit with £fees' button.   So if you don't like what you see,  don't list.  Just sell your vehicle elsewhere.   (I personally would list it on Gumtree, Ebay's sister site.)

It is a listing fee.  If the car had sold you would have been charged a final fee too. 

 

Consider - please - using a classified listing [£20] with no further fees.   You cannot - even with social distancing - offer viewings.  If you allow any contact details before the sale then eBay may sanction you I'm afraid.

That is classified ad fee, best for cars, same as advertising in local paper,

you pay fee to advertise, no other ebay fees & hopefully buyer pays in cash.

Yes, you will pay fee again if you relist.

Selling with Classified Ads | eBay

you pay to advertise a car, whether it sells or not,

 

if it sells you are charged for that as well
