eBay Europe Sarl. What does this mean?

had an email from e bay to say i authorised this payment but haven't a clue what it is for.I have sold a couple of things recently, making the princely profit of £17. They have taken some charges before this.
I closes a previous account about 3 years ago because they were taking £3 a month from my account, and i could get no explanation from them. They ended up with about £20 which I never got back. Is this going to be the same thing?
Don't seem to have much luck with them :mad:

    Ebay fees perhaps as they are payable once a month and not taken from your payments received.

    SARL = Societe a Responsabilite Limitee - the equivalent of a limited company in Luxembourg where Ebay base their European operations so it's probably not suspicious but it is always best to log in directly rather than click on a link.

    I get emails from every bank in the world telling me to click on something. Doesn't make them legitimate.
    Can I help?
  • I had a similar message, addressed to me personally, and it was my ebay seller fees that were being referred to.

    Probably your seller fees. Have a look on your seller account & see if the amount matches your invoice.
