I sold 2 items yesterday and when I checked the order details I had only been charged the usual 30p fee, no FVF as such. I have sold 2 more items today on a different account and it's the same. One item was over £100 so even with the 80% offer it should have been £3.50 ish. Yesterdays sales have already been paid into my bank account. Any one else had this or am I privileged? No doubt ebay will want their fees back at some point!

    Was it a clothing item? They no longer have fees, other than for upgrades.

    No, not clothing, I was charged the 30p 'regulatory operating fee' whereas there isn't any fee for clothing.

    All I can say is well done, with any luck they won’t notice , I wonder if anything will show on your next sale.

    I don't understand this!  I think my brain has gone to sleep after the 100% offer.  How come you got charged 48p on sale of £37.85?  What percentage is that?  Shouldn't it be 20% of (12.8% x £37.85)?

    I have since sold 2 more items today and both have been charged fees of 30p. Hopefully this will carry on!

    Something definitely off! I sold 2 items as well. One I sold at £32 and have been charged £0.71 fees. Then I sold another one after at £37 and have been charged £0.30 in fees. I also have received this weekend both 80% off and 70% off offers, both on same account and can activate them separately.
