i sold 2 items last month on bids, neither buyer turned up
couldnt make it relist first knocker said.....thanks a bunch
other buyer said not as described even though he never came
second item cost me £10.50 in listing fees
i will keep to buying tat from china in future ebay as a selling medium to decent people seems to have died its death

Well something obviously went wrong there. Did they open a case against you? You shouldn't have had to pay fees and they shouldn't have been able to claim that.

Not sure what buying tat from China has to do with anything?

There's still plenty of decent people on ebay.

[QUOTEInsertion fee credit
Normally the insertion fees aren't refundable. However, you might qualify for an insertion fee credit for an auction-style listing when:
The buyer didn't pay
You cancelled the order
You ended a listing early
If your listing ends with an unsold or unpaid item, you can relist it. You'll be charged another insertion fee, but it'll be credited back to your account automatically if the item sells after being relisted.

You'll receive a credit only for insertion fees when relisting. If you added optional features to your original listing, such as a subtitle or displaying the title in bold, you'll be charged for those upgrades again when you relist.][/QUOTE]
