Listing Fee's - A Query

Hi, Have just listed an item starting at 0.1p and the listing fee states

Listing fees (Incl. VAT)
Insertion fee: £ 0.15
Scheduled start time: 0.06
Gallery: 0.15
Total listing fee: * £ 0.71

Can anyone tell me where the extra 0.35p comes from to make the total listing fee? :confused:

regards

huggins

    Weird......


    i don't know, probably to late but go through your listing again with a fine tooth comb and check you haven't ticked any other boxes?

    Any additional photos?
  • Do you have it listed in 2 categories - insertion fees are per category.

    does the * before £ 0.71 indicate anything?

    Did you enter this by turbo lister? As I had not entered a subtitle but scrolled down using the wheely thing on my mouse this added a # which it charged me for! that was 35p I couldn't get rid of it so just changed it to my advantage! otherwise its a mystery! maybe they chuck these charges on and hope we don't notice!! icon9.gif

    I think heatherw_01 is right and there is a bug in the Ebay system.
    I noticed this recently when I listed an item with a subtitle - it didn't show in the breakdown of the fee but was included in the total (they're not THAT stupid !!!)

    stavros, I think the * before £ 0.71 just refers to a note about VAT

    Yes, that would be:
    Scheduled start time: 0.06

    thanks all for your help. Yes it must be the subtitle listing that is not being displayed on the breakdown of the costs.
