Fees

Low price items are appreciated, instead of throwing things away others may well appreciate the item.
I sold a locking wheel nut key for 99p. Ebay have taken 92p in fees. Ebay won't give a UK address, only a PO Box in Dublin. No complaints procedure, only that they will log the chat as a complaint and deal with it if they feel they should. They're killing ebay for us low item price sellers.

According to https://finalfeecalc.co.uk/  Ebay fees on 0.99p would be 0.43p

Can you itemise how they have taken 0.92p.

How did you account for postage, did you charge actual postage and forget the FVFs on the p and p element. 

If the fees significantly differed from the stated amount then definitely complain https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/fees-private-sellers?id=4822

They include p&p in their fee, item is just over the  size for a large letter and so small parcel £3.50. I've filed a complaint , not that it'll get anywhere.

So how much postage did you charge the buyer ?

I appreciate that Ebay's fees probably aren't conducive to selling things at 99p but what exactly is the complaint? Have they charged you more than they should have or are you just having a moan about their fee schedule? 

If it was something you were going to throw away anyway then it's probably not worth getting too excited about it.

Without anymore information from the OP I cannot see how he has the basis for a complaint, more a case of seller not being aware of the fees for selling on the Ebay platform.
