Apologies but can you make this a little clearer as I'm not entirely sure I follow.

Am I correct in thinking you owe ebay £20 for fees which they are chasing you for? If so, then as long as you no longer have your bank account or cards linked to paypal and don't intend ever using ebay or paypal again then they can't physically take the money. It is still payable though and walking away from a legitimate debt is never recommended , (I'm assuming this was FVFs or listing fees?).

It may well be passed to debt collectors who will add more to the debt and may or may not harass you, but no one has yet shown proof that ebay has ever taken anyone too court for a debt.

If DRS is the collection agency they will add their fees I think, yes.

They may well add their fees but there is no reason anyone should pay them, it's a nonsense charge. The debt collectors are just chancing their arm in asking for it. No one is liable for that charge.


The only way any money can be added to a debt is if you are taken to court and lose. Then interest and court fees to be added.
Ebay won't take anyone to court for £20.

As a debtor you also have the right to ask debt collectors to stop contacting you. I think the legal limit is one letter per month that they can send and that's it, of you ask them to stop.

eBay emailed a month later even tho the item I sold wasn’t allowed to be sold cause of copyright so they took it down, but I got the money anyway.
I’m just confused on what to do really .
the drs put there £8 fee on it cause I didn’t pay for the dead line but I do kinda think I shouldn’t pay it .
I had my paypal and bank account linked that while time until they emailed me so they could of taken it out that whole time .

any suggestions?

I've put punctuation in but it's not much clearer tbh
