Before i flip out on ebay , ive been on ebay for awhile now and two weeks ago was the first time i ever sold something. Well today i get an email saying i owe the one dollar it cost to post the product but also i get a email saying i owe $100 final value added on to the one dollar… what the hell is this seeing what i sold was only 400 dollars…
im extremely confused and flipping out seeing i cant be dishing out free money to ebay

Did the email say that you had to send the $100 to an account in Nigeria?
Seriously, ebay charges you something like 2-3% of the final selling value of the item - the final value fees are listed on the website. Unless you sold something for ~$4k you most definitely don’t owe ebay that much.

Anytime you list an item, whether it sells or not you are still charged listing fees. Listing fees are not free.

Yeah, they just jacked that up. I was going to throw my Durango on there last week an noticed it was $125 when you sold it…decided against that.
It does say the costs when listing the item though…chances are you missed it and are going to have a hard time arguing it.

well you’re lucky then. it clearly states the fees. Amazing how you can get a fee dropped because you didnt pay attention.
