  • Does any one know much that comes to in ebay fees, and will they really have to pay it, or will ebay let them off and also does anyone think that the highest bidder might coff up with the 10 million? :rotfl:

    Can't remember the last time I sold stuff on eBay, so could be that i've worked it out wrong but I used this website- http://www.rawsontetley.org/ebay.html

    Apparently the eBay fees would be £325000.6 (would love to know if this is correct):eek:

    I wonder what will happen about this? surely for the "seller" to get out of paying the fee they will have to file an unpaid item dispute etc etc

    All for the sake of making us giggle (ok, and making a valid warning point to eBayers), that's quite a price to pay!:rotfl:

    I imagine seller will have to report buyer as non payer to get the fee cancelled.
    They've listed another lot of vouchers too.

    Can't see that it serves any purpose doing fake listings. Anything that looks too good to be true usually is and if people are stupid enough to fall for the scams then they only have themselves to blame.

    Buyer beware applies more and more these days, especially with the internet, yet people seem to lose all common sense and trust everyone.

    I would imagine the buyer and seller "mutually agree not to go though with the auction." Thats allowed under ebay rules. Its normally reserved where there is a misunderstanding, or purchased in error or the item gets damaged before being posted etc.
