My Ebay Nightmare - Please Help

birchy

Fees are 5.25%of the initial £29.99 (£1.57), plus 3.25% of the initial £30.00 - £599.99 (£18.53), plus 1.75% of the remaining closing value balance

My Reckoning
£25.48 for the £908 bid

I work the FVFs on £908 to be just a little less than £30.

another question... i did the auctions initially on IE5 and it showed up in my ebay as being listed but did not show up when searched for. i gave it 3 hours for it to show but it didnt so i ended them on my ebay and relisted via firefox and they came up when searched for right away. do i still get charged for the initial ones?

thanks

You get charged for any that showed on ebay. When you list they warn you they do not show up straight away but to wait as they will show up eventually.

If you showed 4 listed then you will pay listing fees, any upgrade fees and FVfs for 4.

Looking at the items you have had listed, you did list 7 Wii, and cancelled 3, so will have to pay the listing fees for those extras

Secondly, you buyer is definately on the scam somehow as they have been "buying" feedback, my guess is that they want to buy your Wii, at any price as they are using a stolen credit card, so will pay by paypal, hope you send the item and then the money will be removed from your paypal account, and are listing them to resell in the hope of getting some extra free cash if possible

I'd personally tell them to get knotted for both the consoles and hope they get banned soon and then relist the item and pray they don't create a new id and rebid (also ban the current id from bidding on any of your items)

Ok....just to clarify...(I might of missed something or having a blonde moment!)
Iain - you have in effect 2 W ii's that have sold on Ebay to the same person for £1200...now this is where I get lost....you originally had 4 listed for sale on Ebay (but only 3 as mistake made in listings).....sold 1 to a bloke that flew up to meet you..leaving the 2 you sold to the same person....what have i missed? Not sure what the problem is Why can't you invoice her and sell them both to her? Surely no-one would pay £1200 for 2 W ii's - if you send a combined invoice she has to pay for both of them, not just 1. If she fails to pay then issue a NPB after the 7 days is up. Might also want to remind her that Post Office last date for things to be guaranteed delivery for Xmas is the 19th (I believe) on the invoice!

OOhhh...just read some the above post about scammers - if that's true steer clear!

I wouldnt trust selling to a -1 bidder anyway. You are going to get negged anyway so id just take it on the chin .

Ouch, if you smell a rat, avoid. Be careful & remember that PayPal can action a chargeback even if you've banked the £££
