Help with fees due

Hi,

I sold a mobile phone twice on ebay.

The first time it sold, the bidder turned out to be a scammer with 0 feedback (send to my address and Western Union send the money etc).

So I sold it a second time after relisting the item.

It turns out I have been billed twice for selling the item. What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks
Mike

    You have to go through the NPb process on the 1st sale to reclaim your FVFs.

    Sorry Mike!

    NPB = Non paying bidder
    FVF =Final value fees

    To do the NPB claim just go to your sold page and from the drop down menu by your item (the 1st sale) choose 'report an unpaid item' and go from there.

    Oh dear, you might have a problem depending on how long ago this was. You only have a certaintime frame to reclaim your fees nd ebay rarely, if ever, allow sellers to make a claim beyond that date.

    If you hang about on here I'm sure someone will give you a link to ebay live help.
