I won a designer jacket on ebay, paid same day and then got the item day after which was great, now the seller has contacted me asking for me to cancel the transaction to save on ebay fees? now im all for saving money etc but something about this just feels wrong has anyone had this before?

Cheeky gits. I wouldn't- they paid for ebays services, they used ebays services and now they want them for nothing. I'd report them for fee avoidance.This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine.

Yeah i was thinking the same i mean the seller has lots of active auctions and hardly any feedback i was thinking this might be the reason.
havnt seen this before at all and iv been selling and buying for 5 years on ebay0 -
it seems a little odd to me! i wouldnt agree to it, what if ebay found out and then you got in to trouble for helpin his fee avoidance! the cheek of some people0

I'd agree with TurkishDelight: report them for fee avoidance. They can't neg you anyway, so you've got nothing to lose

I would report them to Ebay. Why should they get out paying Ebay fees when we all have to? Also if the jacket turned out to be fake then if the transaction was cancelled your not be able to file a dispute.0

Another vote for reporting them to ebay for feed avoidance!
Did they sent the email through ebay?Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
I have to be the odd one out. So I'd accept, if it means less in ebays coffers then I'm all for it!0

And you think fee increases are fueled by fee avoidance or eBays greed ?0
